I definitely am glad I didn't miss this particular opportunity for spite though lol. I was pretty empowered by the interaction even if you would not have been. It's not like my stutter is a witch's curse that forgiveness would have broken lol. Not everyone deserves forgiveness from everyone and it really shouldn't be expected.  Especially from victims that is absolutely not a victim's obligation. I'm comfortable with the way I feel about my refusal to forgive this idiot.  I had moved on and it's still funny to me that the dude even bothered it was good to see some meekness in a bully but it didn't impress me at all. I'm genuinely glad he felt bad and did not/do not care what led him to tell me that joke.  I didn't throw him down the stairs to get even once and for all give me some credit here....
