Do you:
1. Ignore the keyboard tough guy.
2. Stand up and shame them within the community.
I do not think the "insert country/state/machoism" way is just to sit back and take a punch on the chin and roll with it.
Fine. By all means defend yourself. Do a little reasoning, and then ...
Since I have inside knowledge of the circumstances, having spoken briefly with Pieper that morning, he most certainly was drunk. Hard for you to know I'm sure, but invariably, if you find Pieper carrying on and on and on and on as he did that morning ... he is drunk.
So ... do we find fault with the drunk?
Or do we find fault with you who presumably was of sound mind and body that helped perpetrate that twaddle for
30 freakin' minutes.
