Hint: since never.

"I had a great time antagonizing her," wrote Bachelor and Bachelorette producer Elan Gale on Thursday, referring to his live-tweeting of an interaction with a woman who was none too pleased that their Thanksgiving flight was delayed.
I don't follow Gale on Twitter so I missed his flurry of real-time tweets, but on Friday, I kept seeing headlines and Facebook posts about the "hilarious" and "awesome" smackdown he delivered to Diane in 7A, who apparently was the Most Self-Centered Traveler on Earth. Gale said he never been "unkind to a person in a service position," and he didn't "care what's going on with you: Don't be rude to people who are doing their job." Gale said the whole point of telling off Diane was that:
"...it's OUR job to tell every Diane to shut up.
It's OUR duty to put the Diane's of the world in their place.
We need to REMIND them about the way of things.
We outnumber them."
Whenever someone readily admits that they were trying to antagonize someone else, and then anoints themselves as the one to put that person "in their place" and "remind them" of "the way of things," I give an automatic side-eye. But I was intrigued, so I clicked on this Storify to read the entirety of what, according to Gale's tweets, happened.
