Thanks, I really appreciate the comment - I wrote it as a parable and only added the context link after my father emailed me in a tiff asking if it was autobiographical and I had secretly been bullied in high-school.

The goal was to simplify the discussion and throw some culpability on the reader to make them a little uncomfortable, but as I only usually write about tech stuff this was new ground for me and I had no idea if people would "get" the intent or if it would just feel like a one-sided condemnation.
