The first page of this thread made me sad for the community.

I am so tired of seeing what I call "teenager logic" applied in so many topics in these forums. Teenager logic is the term I use when someone is only interested in "technically correct" instead of the "spirit of an idea".

Dad gets angry at his 17 year old son for something and tells the kid he can't drive the family's car that weekend. When dad catches his kid driving a friend's car on Saturday, he confronts the kid. The kid reminds his dad that he said he couldn't drive the family car. The kid understands that his dad didn't want the kid to drive at all, but... the kid is technically correct.

Folks that aren't sociopathic understand when they are being pissy to somebody else. I'd wager we don't have an end game population here that is comprised of 25%+ sociopaths.

Why oh why do folks have to be so technically correct to one another?
