Jerks in Full Thrust

Subject: Jerks in Full Thrust

Hello all.
	As I mentioned in my last post, I had one complaint about my
FT/B5
game.  There were two players in my game who were problems.  One was a
40ish gamer who just sat there and did nothing to support his teamates. 
The other was his hyperactive 8 or 9 step-son who didn't know any of the
rules (his father thought that was MY responsibility, not his), and ran
around the gaming hall bugging me and the other players.  (It was this 
same kid who destroyed 3 of the other players miniatures when he would 
pick them up and handle them WITHOUT anyone's permission.)
	The step-dad struck me as being a stuck-up SOB who thought he
was
the greatest gamer on God's Green Earth.  He would not dicipline his kid
when he would yell at the top of his lungs, fall out of his chair and
pester me about turning.  (HOW DO YOU TURN?  HOW DO YOU TURN?) The
widcked
step dad would constantly point out that his son was able to destroy the
Yamato in a playtest game of the Star Blazers game at last year's Gen
Con. 
The kid would repeat this factoid as proof that he was a good Full
Thrust
player (Ya' Know....I destroyed the Yamato.) By the end of game, I
wanted
to throttle the kid and use the father for free-sparing practice.  
Fortunetly they left around 8:30 because it was "way past" the lttile 
nipper's bedtime.
	Does anyone else have any similar experiences?	If so, how do I 
handle them without commiting a capital crime?

Later, 
Mark A. Siefert
