Comment on ‘A maelstrom of his own making’: how Ed Sheeran’s tour turned into a full-blown culture war

Not from the south are ya? It’s a true stereotype. People being nice and talking to strangers

Nope. But i worked for a retail job after high school where we had to help customers, and they were usually happy i was helping them, so that taught me to be a little more comfortable talking to strangers in certain situations.

Well stranger, it doesn’t get more removed from personal connection than to talk over the Internet like this. I’ve heard your sincere viewpoint and have felt no sense of impatience or ingratitude.
This wasn’t the easiest weekend of my life, going home. And you’re right that sharing with strangers opens you to a world of potential negativity. I appreciate your patience with me and hope that I represented myself with a similar level of authenticity.
