Here is part of the way I take Scott's defensiveness. All throughout the competition and apparently in his life in general he has dealt with heavy criticism.
He has probably learned to deal with it in a way that comes off a bit harsh sometimes.
I can't imagine how I would have turned out if I was constantly having to hear people taking about my weight or appearance.
When I see Scott, I see a person who has had pain in his life, but keeps going anyway.
I admire that, but I guess I can see how it might be a bit off-putting to some.
Good analysis of Scott's defensiveness. I'd like to say, Big Heart in a Fat Body, but I don't want to indulge in weight discrimination.
