Taking pleasure from other people's discomfort and embarrassment is a major part of this board's subject matter. There is a streak of cruelty to it. This is actually MORE acceptable if both the person getting the pleasure and the person he's getting the pleasure from are children. Children are not burdened with adult responsiblities and can be more easily forgiven.
Other than the fact that the poster is posting on an adult board and is therefore presumably an adult I still see no reason to assume that the events he describes took place after his own childhood. I really can't see why anyone would elect to read these accounts any other way. That may be "benefit of the doubt" but there was no doubt in my mind when I first read them and on further analysis I still see no reason to change that opinion.
I'm with Wetfan & Sweetgirl on this one.
