I'm not confusing a single thing. Simple example to show *why* someone would definitely let actions *somewhere else* influence their decisions *here*. At least *I* would do so. I wouldn't try to do anything about how that kid behaves elsewhere, so I am *not* trying to police him wherever he goes. But I would *definitely* take note of how he has behaved in the past and decide whether I want to take a chance that he will repeat this again or not... > >>hmmm.... >> >>Would that be a double-standard?

If you'd act responsibly in *both* places I would have no problems with you at all, and am willing to discuss anything you want, at any time you want to. But based on behavior in r.g.c.c, I'm not particularly interested in talking with you anywhere at present, because the conversations generally go into the toilet pretty quickly most of the time...
