^Leo chose Frank as his target because Frank ALSO was dating the girl he liked. IN the same way Tyson was not only just a cyclops, but getting attention from Percy, or Rachel was not just a mortal in Percy's eyes. Fear+Jealousy times Prejudice seems to be the equation in each situation. So its not abut Leo's intentions to be with Hazel. Its about the fact that his poor behavior was partially due to the existence of Frazel.

And I don't get why you don't get it. "Not knowing they were sensitive' isn't an excuse to be a jerk. You shouldn't bully ANYONE, smaller,larger, older, younger,of a different or the same species or gender. Doesn't matter.

On one hand, Annabeth is worse due to her harsher intent. But n the other, Leo's was less 'called for'. Leo's upsets me more only because people seem to love making excuses for him, very few of which are relevant or valid. But if Rachel is to Annabeth as Frank is to Leo, those to cancel out. Then you have Tyson and Nico. And since Annabeth treated Tyson worse than Leo to Nico, she was acting more reprehensible. But that comparison doesn't make Leo's bullying any less mean.
