because he wasn't, not despite of it. Why should everybody else be mature when he wasn't.
I'm all for people being themselves,
to a point. Feel free to destroy all evidnce of your involvement in this but really there is no need to. Plenty of new members join this place and fit in just fine while being themselves. Hell, James Minty is bullied by everyone
all the time but has anyone "seen the light" and left him alone? No. And does he seem to mind? No. He gets on with it and even insults people back but christ at least the guy is reasonably mature about it and doesn't end up making giant huge posts all in fucking caps or red or underline or something. It's all about how people here carry themselves.
TBH I think Lenin or whoever started this thing needs to seriously consider whether they're right here. Apparently James P can "be himself" without retribution but those who dislike it and then tease him can't then "be themselves". Whichever way you stand on this issue you're a hypocrite, basically.
