This is a serious theory, actually. Ralph seems juvanile and lacking logic. 
However, his flames do not seem to be nearly as profane, psudeo-intellectual 
or any real effort to make himself try to convince others that he is right -- 
as an "adult" flamer might do.

I could be wrong, but my guess is -- he might be a very young teenager. More 
kids are discovering the scene again. The Binary Cafe (bbs.ryan42.com) is run 
by a 14 year old. Granted, he is 14 going on 30 lol ... but intelligence != 
maturity in all cases. Ralph could simply be an intelligent pre-teen, just 
not a mature one.

He is defensive in a juvanile way... like.. "well oh yeah?! well.. poo on 
you!" type attitude... where as an adult would be more like "now listen you 
little prick, my point, as opposed to your non-exsistant one, is..." ..

If he is in fact a teenager, we need to school him, not rag on him. We were 
all that age once and most of us, i'm sure its safe to say, were just as 
defensive, cocky and at a lack of logic.

Now, i may be wrong, and he may be the BBS version of a pissed off Forest 
Gump. However, if I happen to be right -- then ragging on him is not what 
needs to be done.

Just a thought. It's not like the internet or the bbs scene is lacking in 
anonymity.
