For a short time there was a posting in the forums about Junior bashing. It has somehow (hmmmmm I wonder) just up and vanished. Now Ben, that is not playing nice and by the rules.

It has been made quite clear on here the feelings about peeps just deleting comments they don't like or removing complete forums. This is exactly what I was pertainning to in my (once again my opinion) post to this Junior named Ben. It was not about bashing anyone much less junior and explorer programs. I am very much in favore of these programs. Hell they have taken out just about every other life skill classes in the schools. I am a firm believer of setting kids up to succeed. I don't think we are doing this any more in our school systems.

Anywho I am getting off topic. Master Ben, actually allow me to clarify my addressing you this way. It is a sign of respect to address a young man by "Master", or at least it use to be. Stating you has "Master" just means that you are on the path of learning and becoming involved in the "how-to" of a business. I had thought that you were this type of young man, I do stand corrected now. You are obviously interested in only things that will be self serving. Young man (you say that when you are about to get a good old fashion tongue lashing) you have demonstrated EXACTLY what us "old timers" have been saying. Your choice of actions will follow you. Even decisions that we make when we are under 18 effect us later on. By removing that post and all of the comments that were on you have not helped in team building. You have taken another step towards ruining what so many of us "old timers" work so hard for you to have, junior programs.

I hope that one day you may see the errors of your way. Maybe then you can be a valuable player in this service. Until that time though you will be a junior that has whined his way out of a good thing.

So young man (because you ruined the respect that I always give everyone until they prove me otherwise, so I will not address you has "Master") I hope that this will be a day you remember for quite some time. If you do not, I know that my ignorance did not influence your decisions, yours did.
BTW...if anyone is upset about him pulling posts, drop him a very respectful message please on his wall, once again please be respectful.
