Allow me to introduce myself first: I am Fitman's younger brother, and he originally showed me this board. I made a comment a couple months back in the guestbook, and just now created a profile.
When he first told me about how unpleasant of a person Fat Man was, I couldn't believe him. But now that I've read through and familiarized myself with most of the recent happenings on this board, my brother was right. Fat Man truly is simply an angry person who refuses to listen to reason. No amount of facts presented to him will convince him to change his way. He is, without a doubt, the most stubborn person I've ever witnessed.
To Fat Man: I'm aware of your story and your childhood. That's no excuse to be rude, disrespectful, and an outright asshole to those who weren't involved in your hardships. You are the one who first exemplified anger on this board. It's within the human condition for people to respond to anger with anger when you are the one already exemplifying it. It's up to YOU to make the first step to be a good, respectful person and make this board one where we can all learn from each other.
In addition, you consistently say that jocks are "monkey boys", etc. If you wish to be consistent with yourself, then you have to acknowledge that Travon Martin was indeed a drug dealer, a kid who was suspended from school multiple times, and a thug. To also remain consistent, you have to believe that I, a star player on the football team with a 3.8 GPA, am a "dumb jock". Of course I'm not valedictorian or anywhere close, but ranking 40th in a class of 600 isn't too shabby for a "dumb monkey boy jock".
What I'm trying to say here is that you, as well as everybody else in this forum, simply distort the facts and use them in a way which is most convenient for them. That's not going to get anywhere, and it is counterproductive.
I look forward to hearing a (hopefully) civilized response- and a response that doesn't even involve the mention of my brother. That story is long gone.
