It seems that he was unclear about how to proceed. Perhaps I am mistaken. But there is no point in torturing him and us if the main problem is that he does not understand what is acceptable behavior. And yes Leon, clearly the rules are written, and I just read them. Now I'll admit that reading is my second language, but I do not see where the rules state that you can not ask about what is the best, most costly, oldest, rarest and all other superlatives applied to pre-war baseball cards.
Frankly Leon, I am unclear about what written rule Sean previously broke. I do not believe that the rules are written to include the thinking of pre-teens. And why would they be?
Can you successfully tell a 12 year old to not be impetuous? Inquisitive? Impulsive?
I applaud your hospitality with Sean, Leon, and your understanding, patience and tolerance; but until he understands that what is required of him is a maturity which he does not yet have, we are simply facing Round 2. Its your domain, I can walk away when I want to. And my opinion is just that of one man.
Enjoy and be well,
Gil
