Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsMost of us learned on the grade school playground that "just kidding" was not an automatic
excuse or cancellation of some insult or even a hurtful truth flung at a playmate.
"I'm the best shortstop in the whole school! JUST KIDDING!" was light-hearted and totally acceptable banter. However, "Your dad is a drunk. JUST KIDDING!" could cost you a tooth.
It's a shame little Donny didn't go to my school. We'd have been very happy to educate him.

He was the bully. A good way to keep other kids at a distance.
Wasn't until he got into military school that his constant bragging was called out by peers.
didn't stop him, of course.
It is notable that he had no school pals.

So far it's been working for them. Lets see if more people wise up.
