The kid stated a point....not a threat...he is the mature one here who took up for his school and a teacher whom he respects...you (Jeep Man) on the other hand made fun of the kid and kept on when you knew you were speaking to a kid and you are an adult. I think you like drama and sounds like the kid just loves his school!! He is right this is not a spelling test...it is just a forum! When you know you are making fun of a kid...them something is wrong!
Nope, the kid stated a point and then followed that up with a threat to anyone who didnt like or agree with what he had to say. Free speach does not give you the right to threaten to beat others into submission.
I knew I was not speaking to an adult when I told him to grow up. My parents always taught me that if I wanted to interact with adults and adult conversations when I was a teenager, I needed to act the part and speak with a little sense. He came into an adult conversation, he should act like one or go back to texting his friends.
Love of school does not give someone the right to go around trying to bully those that disagree with him. Someone should teach him to respect his school by demonstrating that its students are above acting childish in public (and this is a public forum).
And, for the record, I made a statement about him needing to grow up. I did not continue to make fun of him at any point. I continued to argue with you and your friends (his friends I am guessing, if there is more than one person behind the new id's) about whether or not it was a threat in the first place.
If you would quit trying to defend him by ganging up on me and the entire situation will go away. But your high school mentality is showing, as I am sure most of us adults remember well. I guess you guys arent used to someone sticking by their statements when you gang up on them at school, are you?

Let me tell you two smart ones something...Kids are allowed to read the Times Daily at their schools and it's a shame that when they do they have to enteract with people like you! This is out of hand and you were trying to make this kid mad or upset...he did not make a threat to you only was not scared to admit who he is and what he stands for and thats his school and his teachers! Shame on you as an adult and a parent for doing this to a child....It's ok for a kid to make a point on here just like you..he has that right, but you also knew you were talking to a child and you kept on! SO STOP, as a parent you should know better!
Honey, I'm quite sure that if you would stop the conversation would stop. It's a 2-way street. You keep agging this drama on just as much as anyone else. Please, by all means, tell the rest of us how to act -- but please, lead by example. As a parent, you should know better.
As far as the kids being allowed to read the Times Daily -- yes, read, but to allow them to post on Facebook and forums and other venues of that nature -- could be considered irresponsible if there is no monitoring and no control.
