And how is he supposed to know that this is not something that WD has made up? WD uses so many acronyms that mean absolutely nothing, or if they do have a meaning, completely and utterly different from the one he is using it for.
Not only that, but how is anyone to know that the acronym is government related? I do agree that layze should have read this first, but it is not right to verbally assault him for that reason.

He is supposed to recognize it is a government term because he should have read the topic, which goes back to laziness. He should have known it wasn't a Dumple term because everybody knew what it was.

Which is why I said it is not right that he did not read the topic. However, that does not mean you need to assault him. The people on this board are far too high-strung, and jump at the slightest provocation, whether intended or not.

We called him dumb because he is ignorant of the resources around him.

QFT.
You're all attacking layze with little reason other than "he's bein' layze again!!!" So what he should've read the thread. One person could've posted something like:
"CO: COMMANDING OFFICER.... read the thread...
... and play Advance Wars"
instead of attacking him with a bunch of identical facepalm pictures, and then proceeding to bash him. Sure, maybe he was being layze, but had I not played AW, I would have no clue what CO means, and it was only vaguely described as an officer in this thread. It never clearly stated "CO = officer/general" it just kind of implied that you knew that that is what a CO is. So get off his case.

First post, right there in white and light blue. And Maka did tell layze what it was. He did so with a face-palm picture because he's obviously tired of layze always being ignorant.
Ever see that commercial, where the guy is following another guy. They go to the store, to work, etc. together. Guy #1 was always dropping his trash, while Guy #2 kept picking it up. One day, at the store, Guy #1 came back to his car to see a giant tree of trash Guy #2 collected, with the a tag saying "You missed the trash can! -Pete" or something like that.
Well, Guy #2 was obviously tired of Guy #1. Well, why can't Maka and Water Dumple be tired of layze for his ignorance?

There are other ways to do that. I personally agree that the man should have stopped throwin garbage, but doing that to him is simply rude as well. You can be less rude in confronting someone about something you see as a fault.

As a child, my mother always told me "Treat other how you like to be treated.
I'd be surpised if there was single member on here except tin lazye HASN'T flamed.

Then we should start by giving layze some patience, even if he didn't show that to others yet.
EDIT: Also, looking for a mod. Try out the new battle system, today!

Then you aren't treating others how they like to be treated. I myself have been on the other end of many of layze's attacks, yet as much as I condone his actions, I too dislike actions of a similar nature from other individuals, even if the actions are against the one who previously would do the same to me.

And beating a student until they get the lesson only causes latent rebellious tendancies, so that does no good in the long run. Same goes for verbal attacks. Your method causes nothing but short term peace. I prefer the more difficult to achieve but ultimately more rewarding long term peace.
Not only that, but this method completely ignores your earlier statement, making you a hypocrite.

I just thought it was a stupid question. I answered it, but I honestly thought it was both obvious and pre-established. If anything, the picture was an attempt at humor, since that's what they usually are.
I apologize that this was taken to such a high degree of offensiveness. I apologize, layze, for offending you.
On the other hand, I can't disagree with anything Rydon said, so... I guess this post is ambiguous.

Well, posting the facepalm image three times for me was sort of just a joke (Maka's was enough by itself, I understand that). However, I'm pretty sure I used the word "Officer," not "CO," in certain areas near an actual time when I said "CO". That should made it self-explanatory. In addition, I think we find it second-nature to be more volatile towards someone who's normally extremely arrogant and caustic.

An' another thing: Show me some of my "Acronyms that mean absolutely nothing". They all stand for something.
