That were not mind reading, that was an (good) observation, and observation is, in fact, a part of the scientific method. And a lot of times you can take conclusions only from observation, if the subject of your observation is clear enough. Nobody is dumb here, people can read people. That wouldn't have value on a court, of course, Richard is not on a trial, but nobody here is dumb and we could really distinguish what happened, and it was pretty clear, no room for doubt.

And Thorin, with all the respect, it was obvious Richard was being a prick against Rahim.

You forgot to mention that what led Rahim to act the way he did was the way Richard acted against him in the first place. And we have no plus information from either of them that could lead us to believe otherwise. We could only add up the fact that, in the case you trust at Richard's version, then yes, he "bullyed" Rahim, but that would be because he didn't liked something that Rahim did or how he acted the whole time.

But even if he had a reason for that, he shouldn't do that on the air. You say Rahim shouldn't go silent live, but Richard shouldn't have talked to Rahim in live stream like that in the first place.

So you're kind being one-sided here, giving different values to two similar attitudes.

Worse, you're saying like it was all Rahim fault and frankly, I can't see what fault he had in the first place.

He was just reacting to bad behaviour. And if Richard was a bit profissional, he would have realized that and given Rahim space, instead of going like "Come on Rahim, do you babam funny thing", clearly mocking him even more after he realized he has gone silent.

He was honestly and in a evil way having fun at that space of time when Rahim was doing a "bad job". He saw that he was not comfortable and he made fun of it. He HAD FUN with it. That is bully, my sir. No matter what. Just point out to us one single mistake Rahim did against Richard to justify that. Not even Richard gave us one, instead of saying Rahim had some extravagant requirements or any delusional shit like that that I really don't believe he could possibly do it since he explained it in a very clear way. In the worst case scenario, for "cultural differences" Richard misunderstood how he communicated his "requirements" that, according to Rahim, were just warnings to make the stream better, since nobody could know him better than himself. Even if that is the case, still doesn't justifies.

I think you're better than that to see whats really going on instead of just protect a friend who had acted like an asshole.

And seeing how both of them act in public (twitter and etc), I kinda have to say its much easier to believe with Rahim. We have seen Richard being an asshole too many times before so I couldn't, this time, give him some credit that he was not being one.
