I'm not trying to defend Mark here, but it does bother me slightly that people continuously bring up that really old quote of his from many years ago. People change. I've said some disagreeable things on chat many years ago as well. Maybe as a joke, maybe I was frustrated, but I do regret them and I've since grown as a person. I would hate it if someone kept rehashing something I said ages ago to further their narrative of me. Would it not make sense to judge a person by what they're doing now rather than what they did in college? What about you? Have you never made dumb comments that you really wish you hadn't? What if those kept getting brought up against you now rather than who you've become since then? Just a thought.
