The point is that many, like myself, have been doing that in the real world, which is what matters most and which is not in any way lessened by Free Republic sign up date.
As to respect, I'm not asking for any, simply an absence of maltreatment in the form of pathetic words like "noob" and "newbie"...
...which clearly convey, every time that they are used, that those using them derive their own sense of self-worth from their personal FR sign-up date, clearly indicating a need to compensate for what they lack in the real world.
Yet you have the nerve to accuse long-time FReepers of being racists.
Bottom line is, this is Free Republic, and our reputations have been hewn one line at a time over years. I don't care what you have done in MeatSpace. This is Cyber. Here, different rules are in play.
You coming on here with brass balls swingin', acting for every possible way like a Concern Troll or a practitioner of Delphi, WILL NOT GET RESPECT THAT WAY, HERE.
Which leads me to this clear-and-obvious Delphi: ...which clearly convey, every time that they are used, that those using them derive their own sense of self-worth from their personal FR sign-up date, clearly indicating a need to compensate for what they lack in the real world.
Me? What do I offer the real world? OOOoooo I dunno, just 11 years of Dot Net C#, VB.NET, ASP.NET, SQL, JS, Ajax, Silverlight, Presentation and Communication Foundation, Enterprise level web development experience that I draw from, to serve an extremely prominent group who is delighted with not only my guru technical expertise, but my abilities with soft-skills as well; I serve many sponsees in an effort to let them find Recovery from what has them still in suffering; I have many dear friends; a wonderful family, and STILL manage to post quite a bit on Free Republic.
So, what is it that you are postulating I am lacking in real life?
... you freakin' Delphi-Technique arrogant piece of feces NOOB? :)
