--- Quote from: oddtail on 11 Feb 2019, 05:26 ---islan: I think Renee thinks it was a deliberate action on his part to piss her off by being an obnoxious asshole.
If I'm right, it does say that Renee is somewhat self-centred, thinking as she seems to that everything that's been happening in the last few minutes is about her.

Keep in mind that Angus and Renee dated, and they didn't break up on good terms.
Not that I'm saying it's all Renee's fault, but Angus was...really really boring besides being kinda snarky. It would make total sense if Renee had some strange hangups related to dating and relationships which made her not see things in an entirely objective manner.

Oh, she's a realistic character. And it's not like I'm super-condemning her for how she reacts to the world.
A character can do things that I consider wrong without me being particularly pissed off about it :-) in fact, I find her kinda relatable, moreso than in the past.

I don't think I've seen anyone claiming otherwise? I'll assume you're referring to what I wrote, seeing as you wrote it immediately after my post.
My point wasn't that he wasn't rude. My point was that the person affected was primarily Brun, and Renee is making it about herself. In my opinion, unduly so.

And that is completely fair. It was more of a general comment, focussed more on Islan's remark. I should have made that more clear, or not replied while distracted. My bad.

I feel like she’s reacting appropriately— he was directing his rudeness towards a run but performing it for Renee.

--- Quote from: OldGoat on 10 Feb 2019, 23:13 ---Birds of a feather and all that. He's an asshole but so is Renee. They deserve each other so much that I wonder if Jeph plans a long term dysfunctional relationship for the two of them. Her kindness and care toward Brun is all we've seen that makes her the better example of a human being.
--- End quote ---
What has Renee done to deserve the vitriol? I'm a bit confused.
Is it cold in here?:
We have a secondhand report from Angus, though it was so long ago it may be in Retconville by now. She lashed out at Clinton for helping Brun. Her interactions with Brun could be construed as patronizing as opposed to helpful. She took advantage of Elliott's good nature to get him out of his shirt at work.
But you asked about vitriol, and the usual answer is that the characters are so well drawn that they remind forum members of real people in the members's lives, sometimes really bad ones.
