I might've enjoyed it better without the foul (and, by the way, unnecessary) language. (The F-word is frowned upon here, even buried within other words. You may not have realized that, being that you're new around here.)
On the other hand, I am curious how in your short time here, you could make a blanket diagnosis of humblegunner's treatment of newbies based entirely on one thread in which you are not a disinterested party.
I appreciate your concern of how I used a colorful adjective in my response. Being *new* here seems to have a stigma attached to its meaning. As to how I made a blanketed diagnosis is simple to answer. Since October 27th Free Republic has become a *must read* before I go to sleep. As I read threads and comments its easy to *profile* members like Humblegunner,Centurion2000,burbankarl,and many others. They consistently exhibit behavior that belittles,mocks and degrades other members. It tends to be a sign of insecure adults with poor or non-existant social skills.(no empathy) either. The label *Newbie* is another symptematic problem. If Newbie’s are a threat to other Free Republic members I suggest you organize with other tenure members. For example you and your Free Republic brethren, can create a Newbie play pen thread, to isolate the threat of the *Newbie Conspiracy movement* Happy New Year.
