My understanding from what I saw is it was relating to people objecting to the way he spelled words.
there is a difference though to outright attacking him for his bad spelling and him attacking those who simply said "we cannot understand you" which is what he did very often and really makes him no less at fault than anyone else.
It is sad, he had some nice reskins but he certainly got aggressive easily. He's also not really good when it comes to constructive criticism or people helping him
i agree. even a simple question was often met with foul language or attacks from him. disability does not give anyone the right to act that way to others or to break the rules here on the forum.
if he is really leaving i wish him luck but honestly we could do without all of that mess.
Ey, well said. Personally I've never had any issues with others' spelling, and understand this condition that some users have. So long as I get the gist of your message, it's perfectly cool man. What was different in this case is said user behaved as though his disability gave him a free pass to um.. display aggressive and rude behavior, to all the people around him, and for that there is very little excuse.
I completely agree; Having a "disability" is NOT a "pass" on the "rules of the road".
-I am all for offering a helping hand, and providing assistance to those who need it to be "
EQUAL" to the "able", but I am sickened by this new mentality that "disabled people" can get away with just about murder, and it's "OK, because they're disabled".
This was something I wanted to make public. I've been a member here for close to 10 years and during all this time, this is the worst I have seen it. Remember, I am a member of the community, and an avid Trainz user in addition to being a moderator. In many other forums, you never see a post from a moderator unless things get sticky.
Yes, Mr. Dragon did get a bit fork-tongued as well, but that happens when someone is put on the defensive and starts fighting back. In the online world we have here we only have written communication which makes communication difficult even with aides.
If he was on the street and was confronted, I'm sure he would have fought back in an other manner.
Thank you guys for understanding. Let's hope things take a different path going forward. It's too bad we've lost a great user and contributor.

I am not his friend, nor am I his enemy, (only replied to one of his posts, once, I believe) so maybe I can be a bit impartial here;
The thing is though, "Mr. Dragon" often times STARTED his post with raving and foul language, before anyone replied or commented at all. He was once (for sure) reprimanded, but continued with the foul mouthed rant of how such-and-such was not operating correctly, or somthing-or-other...not related to his "communication disability" one bit. Not once, that I am aware of, was he "sanctioned" for ANY of his CoC violations.
Traffic flows both ways for sure, but if you're outside of the cross-walk and get hit by a car, it is your own fault, no one elses.
-Mr. Dragon has the ability to use the "ignore" function the same as all the rest of us...I know I use it quite a bit lately, and it works.
I don't persoanlly use any of his content, so I have no idea "how talented" he may be, but judging by his Forum participation, I'm not impressed...just my opinion.
