The difference is that your experiences didn&#x27;t directly challenge any member of staff. You might have challenged some abstract rule or social norm, but you likely did not <i>personally</i> and <i>publicly</i> attack a teacher. This guy named names and went personal, he crossed a much bigger line. His &quot;crime&quot; was not to lampoon the official magazine, but to personally attack school staff. I don&#x27;t think any school, as good as it might be, would have tolerated that (although they could have handled it better, as he pointed out).
