Man, you really don't get it... Yes, some people here are kind of old and bitchy... but the simple fact is you have come to play in our sandbox. Multiple members gave you slight hints on how you were being disruptive. But you are either very proud or very retarded (not sure which). Either way, you have to realize some of us here have been here for a decade or longer. We have put our time in, we have gone through the hazing, and we have the thick skin required here to break in those titanium plates we all love to abuse... The thing is, if you take it all with a grain of salt and start contributing useful information, maybe, just maybe, in time you can become a part of this absolutely amazing and diverse group of people. Which is a once-in-a-lifetime (maybe longer) type of collective of people here all providing input to the greatest thing that any of us will ever see!!!

I am a (old) new guy around here and I was welcomed with open arms (though I am a bit funny), and I have benefited more then I could ever type from reading what I have read here (even in the roach days). This is a wealth of information if you learn to wade through the bullshit a thread of this stature attracts. If you continue to worry about the asshats being wrong or, more importantly, you being right, you are going to have a bad time here. But I promise you if you just learn to not be the whiny kid in the corner, you might just get some real-world life-changing advice in between the poop jokes!!!

Or just be a lurker like me and not worry about what some stoopid strangers think of you on the interwebz (this is the way).
Till the next time

I'll take Richy_T's recommendation and tell you, FUCK YOU!

Good start but one other piece of advice, if I could give it, would be to develop a thick skin. The internet's a rough place but none of it is real.

Richy - I do indeed have a thick skin, having been around a long time to see and be exposed to pretty much everything possible on the Internet.

What I have no interest in, or patience with, is dealing with stupid people that intentionally actually enjoy being bullies to people when there is no need for such action. Those are the scumbags in our society that need to be taught a serious lesson. Maybe karma will determine their future!

I came here as a friend to all and asked a friendly question to the poster offering info on the radio garden website and I shared info about a hobby in which immediately a half dozen OGs attacked my integrity. Do you think that is a proper way to treat a newcomer that presented no harm or ill-intentions to anyone?
