There are places? Really? Cite them for me please. Cause I'm not aware of any "Etiquette 101" sites, or "Forums and You" specific communities that would ALSO happen to serve for the interests that drew him towards here that are the same as for everybody else: FreeSpace, as either a game or an Engine and the attendant mods and community surrounding it.
A community which will require of every one to learn. Learning happens where you happen to be, simply deciding that he should "do it elsewhere" isn't an answer, because then we'd just be a ghost town while everybody did all their "learning" somewhere else. Deciding that YOU don't want to partake in that is all well and fine, but deciding that it just doesn't get to happen period here? That's just sad.
And further more, a GENERAL DISCUSSION board is the best place for it to happen. Unless you'd rather it happen within ALL of the other attendant boards, Gen Disc should rationally be the MOST open place for learning to happen, for mistakes and misunderstandings as well as for penalties and punishments. Except, apparently, in HIS case. Somebody mentioned (though not specifically here) "why should he have any special treatment, why shouldn't he be treated like every other member?". Yes, he is a normal user. Which doesn't remove the aegis of treating him as a fellow human being.
As an aside, I have this image of two Titans, clashing over "Debates" and assumptions and foundations of "Knowledge" and then, irrationally, Bugs Bunny pops up chewing a carrot and going "Ehhhh, what's up, Doc?". Only instead of a slight pause while some people giggle at it, everybody is completely loosing their **** over it.
Also, be careful in how you determine what should be tolerated. You may find that you have put yourself on the wrong side of the line, and wouldn't that be embarrassing.
