So your style is....to take Freeper's posts out of context and them single them out as being examples of "hazing and berating"...of a noob.

Great.....

Can we call you the FR police?

Okay, reading it again I see you were agreeing with Laz when he was pleading for him to stay in #125 and possibly exempting him from the “STFU NOOB rule”. But I can’t tell if he was being sarcastic about it. Original poster had said this...

“Anyway I am out of here. I am going to STFU. I will try and make better and more thougtful comments in the future. I will not post another thread for a long while. I appreciate the welcomes and will try to stay within the rules. God bless.”

You, of course look at it from your own reference point. What I was talking about was stuff like this...

#21 Piling on the poster about some misspelling, the first letter of a phrase not capitalized, and flawed logic when “this is my first post” was misunderstood to mean first comment. That, I think could be called berating someone. Misspellers are a fact of life...they would correct it if they knew the right spelling, but they don’t!

#26 Thread poster is accused of “bald faced lies” because he said “first post” meaning thread, not first comment on FR. Personal attack.

I scanned back throught the thread and at least a dozen other members picked up on the hazing type attitude and made positive commments to soften the sting for the original poster’s sake.

The original poster continued to reply, apologizing for any mistakes and commenting in a friendly way, then replying in #98 “ok, I will bite what is STFU.” Another personal attack involving profanity (we know what it means).

#108 Continued berating, to which the original poster apologizes.

Enough of this! He’s probably never coming back anyway.
