I'm sorry, I disagree with tolerance in this situation. We have to much
acceptance of unacceptable conduct in our society already. I agree that this
is an ill mannered young man, but at some point his conduct must be
corrected, otherwise he will go through life like this. Accepting his
comments is not a modicum of kindness, it is condoning unacceptable behavior.
Accepting his behavior will not help him it will only make his conduct worse.
