Used to know a guy with a name very similar to Weiner's. |
|
It had the same meaning.
This poor guy handled the situation quite differently. He was very intelligent, but incredibly shy. And from the first time he met you and in nearly every subsequent conversation, he would apologize about his name.
He was extremely neurotic. It was just tragic.
He must have been the brunt of all the bully's jokes from the time he started kindergarten.
That is why I really think we should cut Weiner some slack. He is coping with a problem that probably started at an early age and is due to bullying. That would also explain his tremendous courage in facing down opponents. He got lots of practice doing that as a child.
It occurred to me that had I not known someone with a similar problem, I would not have understood why Weiner did what he did. So I thought I should explain it.
