That's about right, and on balance, quite appropriate.

We don't haze newcomers, but they have to strut whatever they've got before we'll pick on them, at which point they can be said to have arrived.

Some are all assholes and elbows (a certain fellow comes to mind), and become entrenched before we think to vet them retroactively.

I always thought I went out of my way, though, to recruit sArA for WN&E (now the Drawing Room), and make her feel welcome; we badly needed her strawberry-blonde influence.

That picture she volunteered didn't hinder things at all, either.

Apart from that, you're all just a bunch of whining, loathesome, pinko, microwave stealing bar-stewards, and what's a noob to expect from you lot? :)

I take no issue with this thread. I don't think it'll accomplish anything though.

It seems a person may hate this thread 'cause they might think they are insulting and feel the need to defend themselves.

Why defend what needs no defending?

Anyone can be a git at times and some are gits most of the time. That's internet life, I guess.

To pneubs and anyone else:
If you don't wanna conform to some bastard taking a piss (or you don't know if they are), tell the bastard to STFU. Who the fuck is he to insult you?

You don't have to take that shit. :snooty:

I lurk J2...just don't post often, I will endeavour to become a little more active there.....

Good post.

I've been me from day 1 (I actually was worse early on) and this was my first forum. I think folks should jump right in with no hesitation.

I think everyone here, git or not, is good for this board. It is entertainment with a touch of enlightenment.

:huh:

fist shaking = homage in teh States
culture gap...meh....

I was actually in total agreement with that piece I quoted,
I couldn't have said it nearly half that good, myself.

the fist shaking is in anger at how retardedly stupid the persons remark was.

but then you know that cos it was a rod wasnt it?

I remember remarking that you becoming a mod would probably make you post more and it has.

When you became a mod I thought, "Oh yeah sArA. I remember her.":P
