    You understand that only someone who feels ridiculed for being (and most likely is immature) would even mention this.

    Young adults/college kids are in a constant battle to be affirmed as adults. We try using advanced language, dressing different, and all sorts of things. But really, we need to understand and address the fact that only young adults need to be affirmed.

    Real adults don't need that affirmation, and so they get it.

    It's a Catch-22 that I run into a lot on this site and TNFLF...all I can do is wait to age so I'm taken seriously.

    In the meantime, I'll say rude things and address questionable post with the gusto of an 18 year old, and not a tired and agitated 40 year old.

    And, due to substantiation issues, we can say you're full of shit.

    As far as proof goes, none of us have any about most things. It's the internet. Maybe that's how things work for you, but as far as I'm concerned we're completely equal here buddy.

    Maybe once you come to grips with that fact you won't be so easy to punch at the drop of a hat.

    Why do you think I have rebutted your poor and unbased arguments? Because I also endorse this philosophy, and I will also call out people.

    Guess we're at a ****ing standstill.

    S3F cred? I have it too and I'm 18. There's that argument...GONE.

    And that's right, having real life cred means something and you clearly understand that no one has to buy what you say...but, once again, you're right. It is irrelevant.

    So why even bring it up? Chest pounding just hurts you.

    Seriously, I think we all need to take a step back for a second. If you don't like the way it's run, no one is forcing you to be in this league. There's other leagues on the site, and there's probably an open team on at least one of them. I'm not trying to be a dick or anything, I'm just saying.

    Being an internet bully isn't cool either. That's just dumb.

    And DD,

    I thank you for your prior military service. But to use the military card to make some college kid feel insignificant, that's just not cool. I use the military card for getting a discount on my phone bill or stuff like that, not to make people respect what I have to say on an internet site.

    BONGO ANGRY!!!

    You hit the wrong key Porter...you shouldn't have touched this one.

    I did a lot of good things as a sim league GM.

    Ah, give me something clever to say here.
