Now Bryan, was that so hard? You stated what you thought, and you didn't
need to resort to the name calling and mud slinging. Had you thought it
through and posted this the last time you would NEVER have gotten the
response you got.
I know your only 13, though being a certain age is never an excuse for
anything you do... I still think you have some very rude tendency's,
though they can be worked on. The things you said to Anthony last night
were so off the wall, I won't even go into that as it seems we might be
able to calm this down and learn from it, on both ends, there's no need
to "add more fuel to fire" so to speak. Just remember, when we tell you
things, it's not because we are trying to be better, we are trying to
help you, teach you and help you build good manners into your
personality. (though your parents really should be the ones doing this..
we can make up for where they might not see things happening) Just
remember, There are certain ways you act and react in certain
situations, the earlier you learn this, the better off you'll be. And,
your actions DO have consequences be them good or bad, that's your
choice by how you say what you've said. 'nuf said...
Now on to other things... I have to admit I was a little surprised at
his removal from CW, though I did support it, maybe not verbally.
Sometimes someone needs to be shown the consequences they created by
their actions, not just slapped on the hand and told "no, don't do
that."
As far as someone controlling what is done and said with CW I really
don't care, if someone wants to do it, good for them. I don't have the
time, and as with all things that are done, someone NEEDS to be in
charge, even if some people don't like it. If we want to create
"offices", nominate people and then hold an election, I'm sure that can
be done. I don't really feel it needs to be, people are more willing to
do things when they have an interest and they want to, not when they are
forced to do it. I mean really, what is CW? a small group of people,
sure. though it's really no more than a web page with a bunch of links
to other pages, not much different than my own links page on my
websites.
The one major difference has been that you abide by certain "rules of
chivalry" shall we call them? They are no different than the rules we
live by in today's world. If we want it to be more, we need to make
some written rules they need to agree to before joining. write out
something as far as what will be done if the rules are broken and then
abide by it fully.
Bryan, if you don't like what I've said above, Ask Tim Courtney, or Bram
how we [1] 'molded' them when they were young, and look where they are
now.. they both came to us as young teenagers.

[1] And I mean 'WE' as a collective of Lugnet and RTL.
