How to handle disrespectful cadets

[A.Member]

Ah, the irony, huh?

[Critical AOA]

When I was a very young boy, I demanded that my younger brother share his toys with me but I refused to share mine with him.  My father "explained" things to me.  I learned to share.  Some folks were just probably never given a real good "explanation" in their life.

Do you know what a Cadet Senior Airman and a horrible attitude equals?  A DOOR!

Though I am fond of you for knowing what a baseball team is, I would like to counsel you and recommend that you read more and post less......

I will do what i feel like. I agreed to improve my spelling when i'm on this forum (which i have done very well) but over my dead body you will tell me how much i'm allowed to post on this site.

You need to stop being so disrespectful, cadet.

Jay t i don't go by cadet because like i mention so many times this is a unofficial form! For the record he started it.

No one her told cap235629 to stop being disrespectful toward me. If you want me to show you respect then show me respect!!!

You might as well just dispel that notion now.

The fact that this forum is "unofficial" is irrelevant to the fact that you are a cadet and your comments and behavior here can and will have
real-world consequences.

Plenty of people have learned that lesson the hard way - there's no such thing as being "anonymous" on the internet. You can either accept that
as the life-lesson it is, or don't, and then be surprised and indignant when it turns out to be true.

Cadet, you need to take a chill pill. A really big one.

Maybe you should read the Membership Code of Conduct that you agreed to when you signed up for this forum.

All members will respect the opinion and dignity of other members, whether or not they may be present.  Everyone is entitled to an opinion, and certainly discourse on varying opinions is excellent. However, members will not attack others based on their opinions and beliefs, regardless of whether they agree or not.

"Cadet" is a proper form of address for any cadet by senior members.

I think an attitude change is in order here. Otherwise, if it continues, you might be asked to leave.

Cadet, it doesn't work that way!

I can only hope that a senior member from PA-239 is monitoring this situation here on Captalk and will consider taking appropriate action. Enough already!

Cadet, since I have no idea what your name is, good luck with your current train wreck of thought.  You are 12 years old by your profile.  You are responding in a very juvenile manner to the majority of posters who are at the least twice if not 4 or more times older than you.  It seems like you have not learned how to deal with your elders in an effective way, thus your future in nearly any endeavor is going to be to say the least stressful and counter productive until you do learn.  If you think that your local chain of command will have no idea of what has and is transpiring with you on this forum, you are sadly mistaken.  They are likely well aware by reading all of it themselves or have been informed by the vast CAP grapevine that exists.  Many cadets and senior members have been derailed by their own posts here.

Think about this.  Do you talk to your parents/ grandparents/ legal guardians like this?  Do you get away with it?  I doubt you do, but in the off chance that you do.... either they have failed to teach you or you have refused to listen.  Do yourself a favor and listen up fly right and actually help yourself instead of digging your own grave.

For the record, this is a completely untrue statement -- however, that being said simply having a handle on the internet provides no anonymity.

Don't kid yourself.  Internet anonymity does not exist, pick all the proxies and anonymizers you like, the issue is only how much anyone
is interested in figuring out who you are.  If Chinese hackers want to try and fool us into thinking they are going to HMRS, it'll take a little
longer then when the average cadet makes a fake handle and doesn't post a name, but it is amazing what contextual searching
can come up with (over and above the usual stuff).

For the average, non-technical user type, it literally doesn't exist - but with that said, is that the point of this conversation?

There is no question that this cadet has some maturing to do.  It is also true that he has much to learn.  Having a half dozen people pointing this out to him is not going to help him much. Maybe not poking him with a stick over and over would help.  Then again, maybe not....

That's because cap235629 was trying to give you advice. Advice you've refused to listen too. This isn't Facebook, and this isn't a Gears of War forum. Make no mistake, you will meet some of the people on this forum in real life, if your CAP career survives. Being told to 'read more and post less' is not insulting.
