Small boat crossings

Perfectly acceptable
The bit that you've snipped out of the original sentence does make sense.
Because the object has been changed from " a few of them" to the latter "them".

The original sentence did not make sense:
... I remember people like this at school and even down the pub a few of them I actually stepped in to save them from getting a hiding...
In the words of English for Dummies, The "I" is the subject, the verb is "stepped in", and the object, the ones receiving the action of being "stepped in" is "a few of them".

Strip out all the superfluous words, and you're left with "a few of them I stepped in", If the "them" was referring to puddles, or cowpats, it would be fine. But referring to "people like this", it's nonsense.

Pipe down Billy, you dont have to write a full page explaining how you were wrong and then how you arrived at being wrong. A simple quote of "My mistake" is all that is required.

He might alright, once he takes his prescribed med, for his mental health, but in the meantime - simply block the posts completely. You know it makes sense!
