You make me laugh, ya big silly.

Chuck Norris couldn't even kill the lounge (he tried in 2004).

Even Ron and the cucumber didn't manage it.

Although it did kill Razz :(

Just check it out, if you read through a lot of the posts in the Lounge you can see certain (older) members just react to other (older) members and completely ignore other people's postings.

They are free to do so off course but I think that is one of the reasons why the Lounge is/will die. :frusty:

However there are a couple of things I would take exception to.

1. People aren't "professionally ignored" that's just nonsense. They are systematically ignored.

2. So what, surely it's my right (and everyone else's) to reply to what I want to. Or indeed who I want to. That's certainly what I do and intend to continue doing. If new people come along who are interesting (it does happen) I will react to them.

3. Why should I, or anyone else, pander to people posting nonsense. It's their prerogative to post it. It's mine to ignore it. That's kind of the deal.

4. This whole "dare to step into the Lounge" thing is hackneyed tripe. It's an internet forum, not a bar in Sherringham. Or have the young of today grown overly sensitive to the written word. I find that doubtful.

5. If people join this forum to trade invites, then decide to have a nice chat they aren't really my cup of tea. So I ignore them or tell them to fuck off. I genuinely don't see that as being unreasonable.

6. People move on, shit happens. That's how the World works.

When I say "a couple" I mean "a few" obviously. Actually more than a few but I paired it down.

I would like to agree with the essence of this while insisting on one clarification/improvement/fact.


Anent your point 5 (five):

Please be advised that while you are not at all unreasonable, you are eminently disreasonable.

I know this to be true. :whistling

As for all you hit-and-runs artists who decided early on you weren't just going to lurk - put something into your posting other than your fingers, eh?

That's all we ask.

Peace, out. :mellow:

I will add that I only really mind when new people are only posting to seek the approval of the veterans and while at the same time devaluing their peers.
The familiarity argument doesn't hold water then. They are only looking to gain another level just like in the invite section.

No, wait.

Poll.

Yes...one of you people who're feeling put-upon and oppressed by the vets in the Lounge, start a poll - DO IT NOW. :whistling

I hope that you are not using me as an example because I feel neither put upon or oppressed.
I do find your phrasing mildly offensive though (you people?) but I appreciate that it must be difficult to write with your head up your ass.

I don't find it difficult at all. :snooty:
