Differently?
I'm not being mean, not even slightly. I'm attempting to do him a service.
Applies to whom?
He's not being flamed for admitting his wrongs. He hasn't even been flamed, but he needs to be.
What service would that be?
It applies to all of us (hence the clauses you'll see in recruitment pages saying we will not take into accound race, colour or beliefs etc).
He is constantly flamed for what he believes.
