Now what about this guy. He told you he isn't english speaking. Probably taught himself this
foreign language (which is more than some of you will ever do). Taught himself the rudiments of the Internet, but not the niceties - you have to buy expensive books to do that.
He does have cluster headaches - remember, the worst pain know to man (or woman all right, all ready!).
He finds a MB on the intenet and tries to make some sense of it.
But he can't completely understand. He finds a lot of in crowd jokes and threads.
Looking for something to ease his pain he posts
that these are queer messages (only, being dutch he uses a word you all bridle at: stupid) and that he doesn't understand standard terms like NT.
And the whole board burns him down.
You all had your fun. Now be big enough to tell him you were wrong, shallow, and unfeeling.
Maybe he will come back.
