So far I haven't seen anyone threaten to stomp you or shoot you yet, but then I'm a newb & I haven't read it all....
I don't get it here so much because people want to stay on the forum, but I get it semi regularly on other social media where people have the quasi anonymity of their real name preventing me from being able to figure out who they are here.
Still though, I'm a 6'3 220 pound former drill sergeant. People always clam up in person for some reason. Funny, that.
One would barely suspect that we have so many young folks here, as they are generally so well spoken and polite. I've been to places on the web, inhabited solely by teenagers who were desperately trying to be teenagers, and it was Dante-esque.
Though it's wonderful on places like MFK, where they are desperately trying to be adults.
I wholeheartedly agree. We have so many bright young people on this forum that it almost gives my cynical heart a ray of hope. Time and again, I've held intelligent conversations with an individual that I only later find out is in their teens.
It speaks volumes to the character of these young folks. I was certainly nowhere near as mature or communicative as these young people are when I was that age.
Younger MFKers- you have my respect.
