Enchanter's behavior has changed because I have taken the time to respond at length to him both publicly and in PMs with long, detailed posts that fit his learning style. I've been using a large number of 2 x 4's in my responses to his posts and emails, but my 2 x 4's have been applied using polite language that takes into account his nonstandard thinking patterns and learning style. I have persistently and patiently explain things to him over and over because that's what someone with his kind of ADHD/OCB and anxiety impaired way of thinking has to have done. In other words, I've have to politely hit him over the head with the same 2 x 4 enough times for what I'm saying to finally make sense to him. I'm related to enough people who think and express themselves the way Enchanter did in his early posts that I understand people like that are NOT going to "hear" you the first 10 times you say something. But they may hear you the 15th or 20th time. I know my own limits of patience, and Enchanter pushed them, but he never actually pushed my limits far enough for me to write him off.
I don't expect everybody on this board to have the patience to deal with people like Enchanter. And I understand why most people do NOT have the patience to deal with someone like Enchanter. But I would like the people who don't have that kind patience to not get in the way. In other words, if you run out of patience in dealing with a newbie, the proper thing to do is to Just Not Respond to the newbie's threads anymore. Seriously. If all you want to do is post clever insults, it's best to Just Not Respond. Let the people who have more patience deal with the exasperating newbies who irritate the daylights out of you.
And, palerider, your behavior also has not changed. You are always ready to fight, palerider, and you have a hard time letting anything slide.palerider wrote:yours, however...
Brilliant, Robysue!
