Besides, do you think ridiculing a man after his pride has been hurt puts you above him? It does not. He is a caring, honest man, who has my respect. My respect is a hard thing to earn. Even if reacting like that wasn't the right thing to do, (and I'm not saying it was or wasn't) his good traits compensate his bad traits. As for you, all I've seen out of you is belittling him. Disagreeing with his reaction is one thing. Ridiculing him is another.
