When's he ever done anything where hurting Brendan's been his motive? The only thing I can think of is the baseball bat, and fine then, he should apologize for that, but it never even made sense a thing someone would do. Just randomly walk up your abuser and knock him one out of nowhere?
So Ste may not have been right in things he's done too, but he had the right.
But I'll agree to disagree.”
Well, no matter how stupid it was, it happened - and I
would like it to be acknowledged and for Ste to show some regret over it.
I also think the deli-scam was a pretty selfish and self-motivated action. If Ste wanted Brendan out of the deli (bearing in mind that Brendan had
not tried to interfere in it's running, or Ste's life, since its inception) he didn't need to deliberately use Brendan's feelings - and, yes,
hurt him - and commit fraud. Ste had many options, he chose the one that was fraudulent and calculated to deceive and hurt. It certainly wasn't done because he was backed into a corner, or defending himself, or had any moral right.
Anyway, we are obviously polar opposites in our opinions on this, so yes, agreeing to disagree is probably best.
And there's a lot of upcoming Stendanny happiness that I'm sure everyone would rather be talking about, so carry on as you are, folks .....
