To be upset and react strongly is one thing... To react to every single bad thing that happens with personal attacks, hissy fits, and threats to quit is childish. That post of mine wasn't just spawned from yet another string of attacks/obscenities from him today, it's because that's the norm for him.
I can sort of even see where he's coming from on this particular issue... But handle it like an adult for just once, that's all I'm asking. I joined this forum a few years ago because it's one of the first forums I've come across where the players were always polite, reasonable, and just all-around kind people who were never condescending to lesser-skilled players. Speaker has blown his top every single time something's gone even slightly wrong, and I'm sick of it. I'm sure he's actually a reasonable guy, but he's crossed the line now so many times that it's just ridiculous.
Look at it this way... If a less "big name" like, well I'll pick on Athlete since he was in this game, and everyone knows he's never acted like this. If Athlete constantly launched personal attacks on people, threatened to quit all the time, and generally behaved as Speaker has behaved, would ANYONE be defending him?? I really doubt it...
