I am not confused
I just think that a Man should have thicker skin and more self control than Fred has displayed. Threatening other posters is just very childish over something as silly as this.
I remember being labeled the Whitest Member on this board and everyone thought it was just a riot. Not me. But I took it in stride and laughed at it.
I doubt that anyone really thinks that Fred is like Goober. It was a silly joke and could have been taken that way. But Fred has this idea that we all owe him more respect because he is older or for whatever reason. He has proclaimed that he is "The Dean".
I have no idea why he sees himself this way. Especially when he over reacts as he did tonight.
And while I am on the subject of poor behavior, I think Fred's attacks on this new guy Cycles are unfounded and inappropriate. That guys has been pretty reasonable since he joined from what I can see. If he were Dutchy, Yaz or Youk would have banned him by now.
