Or maybe a bunch of people asked the young man about the situation or if he was aware and just wanted to put out a 

"It was me. Don't ask me anymore questions."

Ok, then tell the people in private or ignore.   If something is posted, vaguely no less, on a public forum then you are going to get public responses

Yep, when you throw down or up on the big Twit it's out there for all to see. Discuss-respond to-disagree with-agree with- feel sorry for- be supportive- hostile- threatening or....the messg/theme can be built into a tsunami of accusations/hate or...it can be constructive???  Time will tell...

I'm not suggesting that the kid receive hostile or threatening messages....that is out of line. I am simply stating that I personally wouldn't have handled the situation in the manner that he did. I think that is a fair reaction to what he decided to post.

At his age who knows how we might have reacted. We are adults with many more years of experiences and thus might have handled it better. I had an interaction with a USF professor while I was at USF that didn’t go well when I tried going to the dean for justice. I found out real quick that nothing was going to be done about it and not only that he went out of his way to bad mouth me to potential recruiiters at USF.

Man, that’s terrible. As someone who is the industry, stories like that piss me off to no end. It’s admirable that you still support the university.

To this day 40 years later, I will donate to Athletics and other campus causes but not a cent to that college. Funny thing is that I even got letters from this guy asking for my support to the college.

Not to mention that when a lot of us were his age, there wasn't this level of society killing social media and how it has become ingrained with a lot of that age group ...

Totally agree. At 22, I wasn't the stable, rational genius that graces this board.
