Ok. So I may have been a bit hard on Brad. As I let this grind into fine powder this week, it occurred to me that Brad may have changed his ways. I haven't seen nor spoken to him for nearly a decade.
If someone starts on a path of change, a decade can leave them a completely different person. I have changed in those years, and I should give him the benefit of the doubt.
Peace and love, y'all.
PS - I still probably won't see that flaming turd of a movie.
