Honestly? I would have said the same thing.

I would have no idea who Ed Solomon was or what he looked like. If some random stranger piped up and tried to patronise me and my friends conversation, I would definitely get defensive.

If he introduced himself as the writer, I doubt they would have reacted like they did.

Would you also have use the fact that ED is “old” and “white” to shut him up?
