OK, whether the specific term “berating” is semantically correct or not, that’s not particularly relevant to whether or not it’s decent behavior. It is still an ostentatious, infantilizing putdown of anon. In company, and in a setting that’s looking a lot like “dinner with the extended family”.
Even if anon is the deadbeatiest deadbeat to ever deadbeat, that is… asshole behavior. Pure and simple. Maybe the anon of this fake greentext deserves that?
