    Are you capable of checking the context of a statement before replying to it? The quality of the advice was not at issue. You asked why the person was hostile. Being an asshole begets hostility.

      Being an asshole begets hostility.

      That’s not what’s happening here. You’re justifying someone being a bigger asshole because they perceive someone being a bit of one, or even just being associated with one by being the same age.
