Tova:
I'm probably not quite following this conversation correctly, but are you accusing Winston of systemic mistreatment? Because I don't see it.

TheEvilDog:
Wow, we're not getting away from this maelstrom of a topic any time soon, are we?

I'm not/wasn't! I felt like people were mad at May and I felt bad because she has systematic mistreatment on her plate to deal with, and indignation for Winslow was just an interpersonal issue. This whole conversation has gone on for too long, I've lost sight of what I was talking about and all the points are starting to look the same tbh. Didn't mean to get so worked up!

Tova:

I don't see this interpretation either.

@castn: I feel the same way as you do, I've read through the most recent posts and I honestly can't figure out what everyone is disagreeing over. Everyone is, IMO, getting caught up over the way people are expressing things, but I feel like there is more agreement than disagreement.  :-D

Emperor Norton:
The thing is, Winslow learned and was moving forward. There isn't much left to address on his side. I mentioned from the beginning that him learning is the right reaction and that I think his arc was well handled.

There isn't a lot to discuss concerning it because it felt as though he misstepped, unintentionally hurt someone, realized his mistake, and worked to fix it. There is no reason to get indignant about in his situation.

The thing is, you feel like people are unfair to May while dismissing Winslow's actions, on my side it felt like many people were dismissing May's actions. In fact, my response to the comic with Hanners was "I approve". That was it. I approve of May finally being told that, hey Winslow misstepped but you also were kind of a jerk. That was all I felt needed to be done from the beginning. It isn't hating May, it is that it felt like a one-sided narrative.

The only thing I object to is the idea that being rude as default isn't morally wrong. People can do morally wrong things without being bad people. We all make mistakes. We all do things that are not morally perfect. I don't hate May, I just want her to grow past being as self-absorbed as she is.
