And when I told him he was being that insulting, he said it was my own fault for being insulted. Not even maliciously. That's just horrible. That's like swinging a sword around, cutting someone, then telling them it's their fault for being in the way and sincerely believing that!

There's just so much wrong with that attitude. It's scary when people think what you've done shouldn't have the consequences it did, and it only did because someone else was at fault. It'd be bad enough coming from a normal kid, but people keep acting like kid's something special.
