It would seem then that the best course of action for those who wish to avoid, "...being stigmatized by him..." would be to avoid his threads altogether.
I make no claim of speaking on behalf of lil-freak. In fact, I speak on behalf of someone who has grown weary of the seemingly constantstream of mindless bickering that continues to take place in threads such as these; that is, myself. If you want to cough up a hairball, do it somewhere else.

Yes, he is young and filled with the sometimes impetuous enthusiasm of youth (I sorta remember a long time ago when I too was young) yet he perseveres in the face of being thought of as just a "youngun'" by society at large.... and by some of his own brethren who, in my opinion, would better serve the greater cause by taking the upcoming youths under their wing and guiding them... instead of berating them.I would like to publicly applaud lil-freak for his very mature response to criticism in this thread. Nice job, lil-freak!
Keep on keepin' on lil_freak.
And to those few who have stepped up and are mentoring the upcoming generation...... Damn good job!
Back to original topic..............
If all goes well... it don't rain and the creek don't rise... Yooperlady and I will attend Railroad Days.
The silent majority do however recognize this and wish not to be stigmatized by him. There is no berating of them. In all actuallity, almost every other young person has expressed a disdain for the manner in which he garners attention.
Go ahead and put your arm around him and see where it gets you. Many of us here have already tried repeatedly.
A statement of fact was made regarding the desire of some organizations to deal on a professional basis with adults instead of children.
The response from the freak was the one that was played as a victim.
Furthermore, he has neglected to answer the questions posed to him for clarification of his statement. Now unless you're speaking on his behalf I see no purpose for your post other than to perpetuate the argument that the freak started.
