You have yet to see a personal attack. You *have* seen a snot nose kid tell
everyone here what to do, threaten to gather info about all the geocaches
in his area and turn them over to the authorities that can seriously harm
the work that folks are doing here, run off countless members and on and
on. You have only seen the tip of the iceberg of communications with him
asking him to tone down, hang around and learn whats what before speaking.
He refuses to comply. I am not going to let him destroy everything that has
been going on here.
He does have a right to his opinion on an open forum, public place.
I am done with him. y'all can do what you want with him. [1] If he
continues to p*ss off members here I will have someone from the group deal
with him and all the other members. Really, thatet is no need to
wait. Who is going to take charge of the expert? Elect yourself and get
back with him. y'all have his email address from the list.
Yes, i do remember what it is like to be 14. I would not even have had the
gall to invite myself to someones group and act the way he has. My
youngest son is *at least* and probablly much more hyper and overbearing
as the Expert. He is nothing now to me. He will have limits of behavior
here just like at home.
like i said, i am done with him.
Discuss what you what however you want, it is basically your group. y'all
set the limits of what is proper and what you will tolerate. All i have
been hearing for the last 3 weeks is "do something with the kid". *I*
have NOT unsubbed him , If he unsubbs, it is of his own doing. If you all
want him back (if he is even gone) let him know. I am sure he will have
something to say and will be back in an instant.
gln BTW nothing offends me, i generally dont remember anything that long. :-)

I agree that Chris has some maturing to do but, like Dan said, he is only 14 & we
need to all remember what it was like for us at that age. Glenn we've never met
(although i'd like to & i'm sure we will) so, I hope this message doesn't offend
you or ruin any chance for a good relationship in the future but, I must say that
I believe some of your comments to Chris were a bit immature & hateful in their
own right. I understand that you are frustrated but, personal attacks should
definitely not be a part of this or any forum.
Thanks & God bless!
