PSA: How To Not Look Like An Idiot

[olds]

Just because something pops into your head or you want to ban someone doesn't mean you have to post here.
Often problems can be solved by PMing a Mod and then you will only look like an idiot in his/her eyes. No need to get everyone hating you.
That is all.

It's just a general observation after the recent slew of "Ban (username)" or "Wah! (username looked at me funny, ma, make him stop" threads.

Make no mistake, this is EXACTLY like Kindergarten. Where do you think you are? Those who make it that way know EXACTLY who THEY are.

LOL
No, you wouldn't look like an idiot if you had the urge to post that, only if you actually ACTED on the impulse to post... oh, wait! You did! 😀


I agree completely with Oldsmoboat and KarenMarie.

 

[mdchesne]
