You could learn a lot from these guys you call "old geezers". I certainly did and it helped me make an important decision not to join CX on the current package being offered. Insulting those above you (both age and seniority) is a sign that you are disrespectful coward. Acting the way you've been certainly does not help the fact that you iCadets are already looked down upon by your seniors. At least be modest and respectful.
Guys I see your efforts to reason with this guy, but don't waste your energy on the likes of no.boundaries, they will never understand the true meaning of respect.
