When I messaged him to tell him that telling Jack she stabbed him in the back was crossing another line, he ignored me. If he had something to say, he can say it his fucking self. Maybe defend her from him instead of him from us?
Also, you said you’d said all you had to say. The continued effort to rally people to his side doesn’t sound at all like someone who isn’t trying to excuse his behavior.
I know. Trust me I didn't intend on going on with it, but seeing his entire person being reduced down to something he said (which he didn't mean) in a drunken, depressive state hurt my heart. Despite how awful that thing was, I don't think it should define him entirely. We've known him for years as a respected member here and decent human and friend.
Let me make it clear that I'm not treating this as "sides", as in, Jack's side and Stimbo's side. Me thinking he's not a bad person doesn't mean I think Jack is a bad person. I like and respect them both. I don't blame Jack at all for reporting it, as it is always better to be safe than sorry when it comes to other people's safety.
"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."
