The funny thing is, to me the 20 something does come of feeling entitled, after posting this personal message everywhere because she did not get here way.

Now obviously the original lady was a rude, but so what? Somehow being rude to someone is grounds for public evisceration these days? Of course being publicly humiliated is way worse than being rude to someone.

All that happened is that her own words got posted publicly. Any humiliation that occurred was solely of her own doing.
Not quite. Her own words were copied and pasted by the offended party and willfully distributed.

This isn't the case of one person being an a-hole to another in public in front of witnesses who could repeat the affair and shame the offending party: it's a case where the offended person chose to make it personal and punish the other.

How exactly did the offended person punish her? By revealing to the world the true nature of KB?

I haven't seen the original post that the girl sent, so how can we even judge her?

And I don't expect my private message to become public, do you? Of course, messaging an unknown like that, you have to be more careful.

Maybe she just had a bad day, the message came at a bad time.
