I don’t know about great. My son storms off in a huff when he loses an argument and while I love him dearly, I don’t think his storming off in a temper-tantrum is necessarily “great.”
Not to make a huge thing of it, but Mr. Switch did have a history of being a sore loser in some games. I remember the game where he was going to prove to me that Kill Japan First could not work, it ended up with him quitting and calling me names because Russia owned everything East of Berlin (E. Europe, Balkans, Ukraine, W. Russia, etc).
So, based on my PERSONAL experience with the man, I might see his actions in a different light. Of course, you have to take my opinion with a grain of salt because Mr. Switch is not here to defend himself. (I think the thread might still exist, but it is probably pretty buried. I still have the last map file however.)
That said, he is a valuable human being and I would not, in any way, want to diminish his rights to self expression. the fact he is returning to his roots as a cadet and a cadet “will not lie, cheat nor steal. Nor will a cadet tolerate any amongst him who will.” According to West Point (there are extended versions that also state that a cadet will adhere to the laws of the duly established government and to put the needs and desires of others before his own, but I don’t think he was referencing those clauses.) is a good indicator he has decided to grow as a human being. For that, I will commend him. We should all grow as human beings whenever we are given the chance.
Perhaps one day he will cool off, create a new account here, and return to the community.
