#2) Opinion is posted. Response differing from the opinion of the poster is given. Original poster reacts instantly. Sensing the blood in the water, other responders pile on. Poster reacts again and again and again, wondering how and why anyone can possibly differ from his originally expressed opinion. Original poster stomps away, mad at the world and everyone on the forum.

Seems as though that one route was chosen, with the predictable outcome foreseeable. And so you have it.

I think this usually happens with newbees to this site. Most veterans to this site and forum have rather reasonable discussion and debate over plays and situations. I guess this guy thought everyone was going to side with him and that did not happen he tried to make it about him.
