Holy fuck.
Hammy... if you’re reading this, I love ya, homie, but I think you need to practice accountability. I have said it before, even when we are right about some things, it’s still good to accept that we’re wrong in others. I do believe some things are harder for you, but not impossible. Own up to your mistakes, hamz. Seriously.
This sucks. It feels sucky to walk into a room where the conversation is about a friend and it’s not looking good. I can sympathize with CL and LFC, because you kind of want to be there on a friend’s corner and give them a bit of help or something. On the other hand, he really pushed it lately. The fact that I have seen other people provoke him before and even I have been annoyed by them, does not mean his current behavior is appropriate. Quite frankly, the fact that Tibs was his friend, if I were hammy, would have been sufficient reason for me to refrain from being an asshole to his wife, out of respect and common decency. Autistic people can be decent. You just don’t disrespect a friend’s wife, man.
I agree with this, and to be clear, I never said his behavior was appropriate. I certainly called him out immediately when I saw what he had said to Shell.

You can certainly choose to take a gentler approach. That’s your prerogative, but no one else has to or should take that approach. He needs to be able to handle all manner of people if he wants to nip this flying off the handle shit in the bud, which he doesn’t, so it’s just more time wasted on our part to talk about it. I’m going to bounce out of this thread for at least the night. I doubt I’ll see hide nor hair of the kid for ages, so best not to drag it out.
I responded to him honestly too, just was careful in my delivery of it to avoid all the drama that comes otherwise. People can do what they want. That's just my opinion.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
