   @atomicpoet @hankg Well, that doesn't surprise me. I've known many folks who will bully people who belong to marginalized groups yet eagerly seize the mantle of victimhood when it suits them. That's pretty much page 1 of the Right-Wing Playbook.

     @chronrevisited @hankg What gets me is that he's recounting an anti-Semitic event, and you would think the courtesy he wishes others would extend to him, that he would extend to others.

     @hankg @atomicpoet Many thanks for the kind words.

     As for BL, I dealt with many men like him in my past. Most of them start out as genuinely interesting and thoughtful people. But they get slowly poisoned by what I'll broadly refer to as White Christian Nationalism. Add to that the lure of a captive audience--which matters when you make your money as an Internet personality--and the transformation is almost inevitable.

     BL reminds me of a guy I went to university with. And not in a good way.
