Never disputed it.

Given your phrasing, you do realize that assuming my next door neighbor
is not a serial killer is no more or less an assumption than assuming
he's not?

So, the problem isn't necessarily with my opinion but with my having one
at all?
Lame. If you disagree with me, just disagree with me. Argue your point
or don't, but please spare this pitiable wretch your melodrama and
finger-wagging.

Sure, I'll buy that, though the frat-boy "games" I've seen involve much
less resentment. More like, "Will you sleep with me? Please? It'll be
fun. Pretty please?".
And I'll bet most of those frat-boy types grow up to be loving husbands
and fathers. I've seen it happen many times.
And there are plenty of genuine nice guys in the world. Most of the ones
I've known have had healthy and plentiful relationships with women.
The creep OTOH has always remained a creep IME.

Ah, you know him personally and have first-hand knowledge of the situation
he described. Well, then I stand corrected.

You know, I'm starting to agree with the "Recovering Nice Guy". What
happened to all the nice guys? You happened.

That comment sounds quite arrogant to me. You don't know his situation,
you don't know his personality, you don't know exactly what happened. For
some reason you are assuming dishonesty (if not in any other form, at least
in the form of the author deluding himself, thus being dishonest to himself).
Why does everything have to be taken on bad faith? Why cannot honesty
and objectivity be assumed by default? Are we so cynical that everybody
must be assumed to be dishonest liars until proven otherwise?
