... when others call him out on his ageist remarks, he doubles down. No, that's not naive... just just being an ass... and doing it intentionally. And a mean-spirited one as well. I have no use for him. Others were giving him a free pass because of his age or because of the trauma he experienced... but he hasn't aged out of it, he's never apologized. I do not think he has demeanor for anything other than being an angry agitator who lashes out without thinking, treating friends as enemies. He doesn't strengthen us, he divides us. And that weakens us. I wish he'd go away and I wish the people would stop providing oxygen to the little fires he sets. (Myself included... that's all I have to say about him.)

You're right. This post is just a shameful pot-stirrer without the poster even clarifying or stating an opinion. adam_vermont Yesterday #33
