Not like the people in this thread haven't done worse.

I don't think it's a "strong angry emotion", I think some posters come off sounding that way, because you can't read the posts' tone, etc online. Like for me, my disdain is from his ignorance about several "life lessons" he just hasn't learned yet. But it's not about not knowing them, it's the 13 year old "I know everything" mentality, and the 8 year old responses to criticism.
He's sent me plenty of rep comments/private messages with less than cordial context too, and it's just irritating enough to bust his chops when he's caught up doing something dumb like in this thread, or the golf course thread. He's a borderline shit stirrer, just to pass his time.
He also does some pretty neat things with videos and such, but calling him a smart kid isn't something I would say either. I've busted his chops as hard as anyone on here (and just like I do when I bust Mecca's chops, I've also always tried to offer olive branches - they both have continuely rejected them) but at the end of the day, "angry" is a bit harsh.
