Re: eddie/steve
We all have flaws. His were just made public. Which isn't me excusing him. Just recognition.
I don't think people need to earn respect or trust from the get-go. But if they lose it, it does need to be earned back. [...] I'd rather be neither. As much as I think bland acceptance of a person in their entirety, and their flaws, can lead to a sort of stasis, you can't tell someone that and expect them to agree. I want people to aspire. I think they can become better. But maybe it's not my call—or my place to try and get them to see that. Maybe I am overly self-righteous. I'm certain, however, that you didn't come here to talk to Captain America about how much of an ass he can be.
