Can someone in the Irving TX area "draft" this young man?

I'm not out defame this kid, drag his reputation through the mud or any of the other strong metaphors that people are accusing me of. In fact, most of what I've said here is an opinion of mine that Sean has such a strong desire scrutinize. The only kid that you, or anyone else in this conversation is after is me and my opinion. So if you truly want to stop wasting my time and yours how about you actually start talking about this larger issue instead of having away at me, lip service toward Ahmed, and my opinion of Ahmed as a person

Seeing as you have never met nor interacted with Ahmed, your opinion of him carries no weight. Your directly stated your objective as to "cast doubt on his persona," and your actions in this thread have backed that up. That's defaming someone. That's dragging someone through the mud. Most importantly, that's contributing to the type of anti-intellectualism that led to this issue. Instead of celebrating youth that are interested in science and technology, you are lashing out at Ahmed.
