I think a lot of it is jealousy. So yeah - if someone like him still gets crap from some people, it really is just that people can be petty and there is no need to give them a second of our mental space.

WOW - amazing. Yes, people can be very petty, and yes, often it stems from jealousy.
I had told this woman that I lost 20 pounds. Maybe she's envious of that. I have no clue.
She still has not replied to my apology message. She did not apologize yet in return, which would have been the right thing to do. She hasn't. Very petty. Very small. Not my style.
