I find the responses in this thread quite shocking to be honest, especially for a website that is notoriously left leaning.
$7000 dollars 20 years ago. 20 frikking years ago.
The amount people can change in 20 years is mind boggling. I certainly hope I'm not held to and judged on decisions I made in 1997. Jeebus. I was a walking train wreck. People change. Their ideas change. Their level of empathy changes. You don't know where this guy is at in life now, or what changes he's made. For all you know this guy is setting up dialogue so he can have a face to face and apologize. Maybe he doesn't think it's appropriate on Facebook.
Some of the pettiness I have witnessed in this thread is pretty disgusting to be honest.
Even if this guy feels no guilt or remorse, there's still a saying. "Be the bigger man." In this thread I see a lot of small, petty people. The only harm that can be done by forgiving this guy, is to send him to the grave with one less ounce of guilt for something he did 20 years ago. CP response "Nope, let the f'er go to his grave regretting crashing a Seadoo. He f'ing deserves it, that POS!!!!! Rot in hell sucka!"
Do what you want OP, it's your life. But I certainly hope you have your ducks in a row when the old man death is knocking on your door, and people don't hold every mistake you ever made against you. Because that would be a pretty crappy way to go.
Gross.
