Anytime I screwed up when I was younger, my parents screwed me over hard, with physical pain, on top of the spankings I got at school. I came out better than just fine, and I completely agree with the decision to be hard on someone to help them.
If you play a game and you like it, you can't expect everyone else to like it, too. Some people won't like it.
Not everyone wants someone to come up to their faces and say "You're absolutely stupid and should never leave your house ever again for the sake of everyone else". I know I wouldn't.
If you seriously believe that everyone should be like you, then whatever. Seeing how this argument is going, I don't think I'll be able to sway your attitude.
And since you seem to be able to handle this, I'll be blunt with you: I seriously hope you never get into a position to give advice. Because I'm sure you'll be hurting some people more than you help.
There's no point. Just tell him he has no place there and be done with it. That would be helping him by not wasting his time, the people helping him's time, and maybe a little bluntness and making him feel bad will help him grow up a bit.
That's pretty much what they did, except they weren't blunt about it. There are plenty ways to help someone to grow up without being a **** about it. It's up to the people who helped him to decide if they wasted their time or not, and if they thought their approach was going to waste time, they probably wouldn't have done it in the first place.

Yes...? I realize that.

That is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. That's like saying people shouldn't help that old lady across the street because it saves time.
If you can't help anybody without being blunt and making the person feel bad, you might as well not say anything at all.
I, for one, applaud the people in the thread for being so patient with the person.

The International Space Station? You mean the huge space lab constructed with parts from all around the world floating in space?
How did they lose communication? And what does that mean for us here on Earth?

Huh. Well, that's good.
