Indians amuse me. "My parents are in the military, you can do jack shit". How is military mommy and daddy keeping you from ending up in a Delhi landfill in eight to twelve pieces after being disrespectful to the wrong person? They better try for a smarter son quickly, because you are not getting very old in the place you’re living, pissing people off like that.

> How is military mommy and daddy keeping you from ending up in a Delhi landfill in eight to twelve pieces after being disrespectful to the wrong person Because his dad is a Colonel and a Senior Bureaucrat in the MoD who was in charge of civilian-military airport construction and attended the NDA back in the day. That's the kind of background that means they know who to call. The issue is IITD has plenty of students from similar backgrounds (some of whom appeared to appear to have been targeted on iitsocial) who if they wanted to could also call in favors if they felt vindictive enough. Kids from jawan and shaheed families don't act like this. And this only makes this Mony bloke even more distasteful.

  Thank you for taking some time out of your busy day to give me some valuable background information. I learned something new today, very much appreciated. It’s interesting to see how big the difference in culture is sometimes based on what kind of values you get taught in your military career and at home. My dad was in the military as well, but he would have whooped my ass in front of the whole school and had me personally knock on every dorm room to ask for forgiveness if I had behaved like that instead of doubling down over the phone.

>>"My parents are in the military, you can do jack shit". all i meant was my parents are in the army, and they have raised me to not be afraid of people like this threatening me. did not mean at all i could use connections, wtv the fuck that means. the guy basically told me after i agreed on taking his post down, that take the site down, "how can you not take it down when im telling you to",and then said he'd beat me up in the morning. so i just meant, man both my parents are in the army, I'm not gonna be threatened by some nerd at IIT Delhi, not in the sense that my parents would do anything, just that I'm personally stronger than that.

  > [...] I'm personally stronger than that. Respectfully, I think all of your actions here contradict that claim. It's easy for a person to mistake having a temper with strength. It doesn't take strength to get pissed off and lash out at someone who is angry at you. That's something most people naturally want to do, and it's something which we work hard to teach kids to resist. It takes a lot of strength to try to put aside your immediate, gut reaction and attempt to deescalate. Your statements elsewhere in this comment section and in the blog post give the impression of a person who feels entitled and is angrily rejecting taking responsibility for the negative consequences of their actions.
