Honestly, I doubt anybody ever will admit learning anything on here but go read my comments from last night. What is so hard to grasp about the idea of, if you're attacking someone, don't expect retaliation. So you say, Paulie attacked them so he should expect retaliation. If he attacked them, then yes, you're right. Now the rolls are reversed and Paulie is attacked so don't be surprised when he gets defensive or attacks back. This is not math equation, "well you attacked me and I attacked you so we are equal <shake hands and walk opposite directions>". From a serious perspective, if they had addressed their real issues with him then it would have been interesting, but they didn't. From a funny perspective, if they had made actually funny comments it would have been great, but they made lame remarks.

From what I saw, he was there to play the game hard and with purpose, a lot of people don't go into the game like that. So when he makes comments echoing the confidence seen before sporting events or competitions most people don't understand that mentality because they don't get into that zone. But he was not socially aware enough to realize you can't say that stuff in around people that don't have that same mentality because they may take it the wrong way (eg, "an arrogant ass").
