Wil Wheaton: "At least I've still got hair."

Screenshot of a Mastodon post - A picture of the bridge of the Enterprise-D from Star Trek The Next Generation’s first season. In it are Captain Picard, Doctor Crusher, and Wesley Crusher in the Captain’s chair.
The text reads:
“Wil Wheaton is now five years older than Patrick Stewart was in the pilot of Star Trek the next generation. Have your bones demineralized and fallen apart yet?”
Original post @ Mastodon
Wil Wheaton is a stand up bloke.
Many years ago I emailed him a horrible email calling him all kinds of names and he replied, in a nice but also boing flip kind of way that really put me in my place. I was a dumb kid at the time, he either figured that out or was just pure class.
I apologised to him on Reddit a few years ago and he replied saying it was all cool. Wish more people in the world were like that.
imagine how many similar emails he must have gotten, too.
here's the kind of consideration that probably went into his response: https://youtu.be/04WJEEb33CY
Gracious in the face of your rude behavior?
Or just willing to give you enough time to recognize your own errors?
Both. Responding with kindness.
