[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000]The young man known as FFL around these parts may in fact be a likable and polite young man when confronted in person. However, his chat forum etiquette is deplorable. Not having met him in person, I can only guess at why that might be. But I’ve heard that he emigrated here from another country and English is not his primary language. IF that is true, then his grammar skills can be excused.[/#800000][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000][/#800000][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000]As a guess, I’d have to say that his main problem is that he isn’t mature enough to recognize that disagreements with his opinion are nothing more than disagreements with his opinion; NOT personal attacks on himself OR his opinion. His responses to such disagreements with his opinion are often lashed out against as if they were a slap-in-the-face, full-out, 100% personal attack.[/#800000][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000][/#800000][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000]After a short while, mature folks take a distinct dislike of his childish outbursts and temper tantrums and belittle him for his poor grammar and his immature rants. As was stated earlier, he, like many others, is hiding behind his computer without fear of being physically assaulted as might be the case were he to voice such ravings in person. I have no personal dislike of the young man, because I’ve not had a chance to meet him in person and actually form an opinion of him. But his poor grammar and his childish and immature attitude on these boards leave much to be desired as far as I’m concerned.[/#800000][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000][/#800000][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000]He has every right to be here and post whatever he desires to post within the guidelines of the forum. But I’m under no obligation to read his posts and will continue to not do so until I see some evidence that his maturity level has increased to an adult level.[/#800000][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000][/#800000][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000]That’s my story, and I’m sticking to it.[/#800000][/font]
