My question would be; what is the similarity between that situation and this one, and what are the differences?
I have to assume that the messages you put on your ex-friend's locker door (inside that door) would have caused him great danger if other people had seen them. That there was a potential for immediate, possibly physical effect.
I would look back on that in some shame as well, and for the same reasons.
But this, to me, is the nutshell;
It's sharing what we love in a way that has nothing to do with how much we love it, but how much he hates it."
Me, I think that's perfectly just. He didn't have to be here. He didn't have to focuss on our sexual preferences, and he didn't have to show his general asshattery about what he ALREADY KNEW we love-- that part couldn't possibly have been a surprise to him. he'd been reading kink-bingo, after all.
I'm trying to think of an analogy; If I wandered out onto a soccer field, and started asking the players intrusive questions about soccer, and made it clear that I thought they were really weird to be playing soccer, you just know someone would shout; "Heads up, idiot!" and fire the ball in my direction.

That's kinda what I saw happening here.
