I'm not even sure what you are intimating, but for clarity's sake, let me just say that I assumed that there were public images of her (much like jenny middlebrooks) that would be posted and ogled. If that makes me mouth-breathing creepy fuck, then guilty as charged I guess. What I was surely not going for was some sort of advocacy of hacking into private materials for public posting and shaming. If that's what you took from the post, then you got it wrong.
Carry on.

Wow.
Ten cent head--you're a baseball message-board regular. "Regular" to such a degree that we've all figured out how much you actually suck, even. On no planet does that guy get to mock the one who sees a bunch of movies and likes to write about it.
I would take out a notebook and learn from Syd and Blacken because you're unfortunately obviously not going anywhere and fucking suck at this.

http://ftw.usatoday.com/2015/04/britt-mchenry-espn-returns-work-after-suspension-second-chanceBack to work. Excited to be covering Caps-Isles today. Now that the suspension is over, I want to say again that I’m so sorry for my recent hurtful actions. My remarks were completely out of line. Under no circumstances is it ever acceptable to speak to another human being in the manner in which I chose that night. That’s not who I am as a person and hope those who only know me from this incident will give me a second chance to prove to you how much I value integrity, character and treating people with respect. –Britt
I assume you're basing your call on your intimate knowledge of her personally? Not just judging her on what was probably the only twenty seconds you've ever laid eyes on her in your life, while she was in the middle of a stressful moment where she was likely provoked to some extent?Van Everyman said:She tweeted this:

I appreciate your point, PP – we all get upset at certain points. But as B4aT says and others before, her diatribe was so visceral, cruel and personal that I had a pretty hard time imagining this episode was the exception. Put another way, this other woman could have been every bit as horrible but it still wouldn't have warranted a diatribe like that.Papelbon's Poutine said:I assume you're basing your call on your intimate knowledge of her personally?

Having worked in the service industry for the past 18 years (in different roles), I can assure you I've been on the receiving end of that interaction dozens of times. Sometimes the people were legit ass holes that have no excuse and just treat people like shit. Sometimes they were good enough people having a bad day and taking it out on the wrong person. Sometimes I will fully admit to provoking it or being an asshole myself and deserving it (in spirit, if not content).
She shouldn't have said what she said but we also don't know the whole story. We have a 20 second clip from a security camera that has been edited to make her look as bad as possible. I challenges everyone here to honestly state they haven't been a dick to a barista, a meter maid, a waitress, a bartender, a tow truck guy, to someone at some point.
The fact that this is even a story is an indictment on society more than it is on her

Judge Mental13 said:"Indefensible"
"Beyond the pale"
"Bigotry"
You saw 1 half of a conversation between two adults in which one of them called the other poor and ugly, you have literally no idea what the other adult said, and you used those sorts of words to describe it?
Can we all maybe take a deep breath here?

joe dokes said:
I'm not sure I'd use "bigotry," but I think the point is that it doesn't matter what the other adult said. (At least that's my point).
Judge Mental13 said:
But that's a pretty silly point, isn't it? That insinuates that there is nothing the other adult said that is worse than what McHenry said, and since we're judging the behavior of one half of an exchange the other half needs to be judged accordingly before we can start using phrases like "beyond the pale" and "indefensible", IMO
And that's not to say that the other half of the convo would necessarily help McHenry if it came out either, if it comes out that McHenry berated the woman while she sat there whimpering and begging her to stop because she was hurting her feelings that would make McHenry's words that much worse, right? On the other hand, if the tow lady told McHenry "I hope you get carjacked and sexually assaulted on your way home" all the sudden "lose some weight, babygirl" doesn't really seem so bad, does it?
The point is we have no idea what the tow lady said, but to state that it doesn't matter when judging one half of an angry exchange is, IMO, nonsense.
So their careers matter, How? At least the way I read that is you seem to imply that her being a successful professional somehow makes the behavior less excusable.You are a successful professional and you respond to the verbal insults of a parking lot attendant in a cage by ripping her appearance, education, etc.?
BigJimEd said:So their careers matter, How? At least the way I read that is you seem to imply that her being a successful professional somehow makes the behavior less excusable.
I'm going to assume that Britt is pompous and arrogant. I could be wrong though and we don't know that the other woman didn't start with the personal insults about looks and education. And McHenry was just responding in kind letting the situation get the better of her.
Since I will likely never meet her nor had I heard of her before and do not watch ESPN very often, my opinion of her as a person doesn't matter in the least.
MyDaughterLovesTomGordon said:The conversation isn't really about McHenry at this point, it's about how you judge a person.
Judge Mental 13 has now posited that it's okay to go to just about any length as long as a person has egged you on. I think that's an interesting question.
It's one thing to have someone provoke you and you respond, "you know what, fuck you, fuck everyone you've ever known, and then fuck you all again," vs. "fuck you, you fat, toothless [insert racial epithet here], I hope your children die poor and starving because you're too stupid to feed them."
Is JM13 really arguing that if someone says something bad enough to you, you can say virtually anything in response it's "okay"?

This is the part I'm responding to. He's saying we can't decide whether something someone said is "beyond the pale" without knowing what it was in response to. I'm asking if he really means that. Maybe he didn't "excuse what she said," but he did argue that we couldn't define what she said as beyond the pale or indefensible.
