So essentially, you are saying that a little show of immaturity is just cause to ruin another person's life by getting him kicked out of school? I just don't see why you can't just take it all with a grain of salt. If someone is bothering you then just ignore them. They will get tired sooner or later, besides, what does it matter what anonymous guy in CA thinks of you? I get sick of seeing the justice system filled up with these petty lawsuits. Pat
