I am new here and I would just like to offer my opinion on what I see when I am here. I see some very helpful caring people which is great, it's nice to have people to chat with. I also see people being attacked for useage of grammar, now that I don't understand. To someone new it honestly comes across as people feeling the need to belittle others to boost their own egos. I have seen many post about how it is like a family here and at times you can see it, but not very often. Do I just happen to log in at bad times?

It is like a "family" around here, but like every family there are "issues" or "problems" All in all, its a good bunch, with a few bad apples, but remember this and remember it always, THIS IS THE INTERNET!



oh yeah


Do I just happen to log in at bad times?


thats bad grammar dude.

The person you've seen attacked for grammar (pamchenko) started a thread solely for calling another member of this board (zippy) a retard and making fun of something he did a while back. Attacking his grammar is the nicest thing I could do to him.

solost, you quickly learn who is geniune and who is less-than-geniune. BigBootyDaddy and i have had our share of flame wars against each other, but i have no harsh feelings towards him. You get used to ignoring people like pamchenko.


BTW, DAM was being sarcastic =].

Take very thing with a grain of salt and don't let it get to you. When you can't stand it anymore? Fire back!!! That's what being family is all about. Takes all kinds to make the world.

Happy Wednesday.

In the case of the retard comment you shouldn't be calling someone retarded if you can't spell. I have some handicapped people in my family (other than GF) and take a real offense to that, so he got off easy. I kind of enjoy the whole kill or be killed thing they have going on here!

Me and classy, we're like this -

<holding up my crossed index and middle finger>

:)

Seriously, I disagree with a lot of what classy says, but I've come to respect him and would defend him if he were attacked unprovoked. He just really provokes me. ;)

Just make sure you've got your flame retardant suit on and that you've got enough gas in your flamethrower. Good luck, grasshopper. ;)

Oh, its such a joy having real family on the boards, isn't it? ;)

Hey wait, that was a personal attack on me! Mods, she should be banned ASAP, that is just blatantly against the rules. She is nothing but a troublemaker. :Q

No personal attack is when I come to your house in the morning and start tearing your back hair out strand by strand!
