“All of the fighting between “newbies” and “old-timers” is ridiculous! People need to remember that none of us “own” the board no matter how long we have been around!”
I don’t think it has anything to do with owning the board. It’s just that people who have been on FR for more than two months are not accustomed to the hate, name calling, and “shouting” that is in some recent posts. Post #9552, that was removed by the mods, was very hateful to “Grandmas”.....meaning that either we’ve been here longer than two months, or we’re older. Quite unnecessary for FR. I believe that the posters who responded to it were just telling the new ones that we don’t do that at FR.

You must be kidding!
Seriously, I understand what you are saying and agree. Name calling is never good. IMO, bad behavior does not necessarily equate to being a newbie tho. A little respect goes a long way and I tend to just ignore the ones who get out of hand. Well, until I feel the need to say, "Simma Down!" for the sake of my own viewing pleasure that is :)
You should have seen the thread on Jenna Bush’s book. It was disgusting how vicious it became.
