Initially I thought Don's money may have protected him. But I know that all social circles have a "pecking order" and surely some other Silver Spoon would have set him straight; but clearly that never happened. Why not? It couldn't be because he's tough. He's obviously a pussy, so what gives? Well, I concluded this: He ran in one of those circles of catty (not physical) bullies, and he was the best, or the funniest, when it came to demeaning others. His crew laughed along with him, letting him take center stage, as they all made fun of, joked and laughed about others, using their well-developed snark. But they only did it alone, or when it was safe.
Who knows, he might have turned out to be a good person if only someone had taken him out back and read him from the good book. Too bad. We're stuck with him now.
