I don’t think it’s fair to publicly show off and to lightly insult other people (the original post, unless it’s ironic and I’m missing the joke, is trying to make a point) and then not expect any sort of a response. These aren’t people just minding their business being teased. These appear to be extremely over confident people who crave attention, and they’re willing to put others down in the process.

I don’t think they need to be defended.
