• Funny and sad at the same time.

    Plus in discussions like this it's my loss as well.

    I have definitely re-aligned my opinions and/or behaviour over the years, and sometimes it's good to be called out and get an opportunity to make right.

    For example I used to, in my upbringing, habitually call stuff "gay" as a synonym for shit. But then again I grew up in a backwater German conservative town and people there just do that and that's what gets modelled. Until, by a classmate in Berlin, I was called out and educated. Firmly. But not without a path to better my behaviour.

    I am highly doubtful that if Calum had called me a Nazi straight away I would have taken that on board. But then again I also doubt that he's actually interested in engaging with people for that purpose.

  • Everyone needs to be called out and then redirected.
    A bit like parenting - shouting at wrong behaviour isn’t the best way to sort things out.
