What Do I Do? My Neighbor Has Put a Human Head on Her Fence-Post?
Welcome to FR. Join the club. Analogy to the NFL, even though rookies might be great talent coming into the league they are still treated like rookies until they earn their keep on the field.
Same thing on FR. I went through the same thing when I signed up in February of 2000. Abide the rules and when you don't someone will tell you.
FR is a great place to get information and a great place to converse with fellow conservatives. You won't always agree with someone but it is a great place to have a spirited debate.
Thank you - I just posted my opinion to an article and was told I was arrogant and a newbie and basically because I was a "Newbie" my opinion was not wanted. I will no longer post my opinion on this site. I thought when I found this site it was an open forum for peoples comments. I guess I was wrong. Apparently only old timers can post intelligent comments and are worthy of consideration. I will continue to look at the site but feel my comments are not wanted here.
Wonderfully goofy.
Are you a newbie (sp?)?
Funny, I've been around here long enough that some of these "old timers" seem like young 'uns to me. Occasionally someone will dig up an ancient thread and I'll say to myself, "I remember those guys! I wonder whatever happened to them?"
I pretty much agree with your sentiments, being rude to newbies isn't necessary and is sometimes a copout for making a point.
OTOH, the oldtimers are rude to each other, too, lots of the time...the rough housing can be fun. Also, I have noticed plenty of really extreme rudeness coming, seemingly unprovoked, from the recent wave of newbies. I wonder if some of 'em were raised in the proverbial barn.
Welcome aboard, though, I hope you will stay around.
I know exactly what you mean.
I have been watching ever since I had my encounter with them. I think they are just bullies that never got over their childhood humiliation on the playground.
Now, in the name of protecting FR, they think they have license to hurt and humiliate others; especially the new and vulnerable.
A lot of good people are being run off into eternal hatred of conservatives by the actions of this gang of juvenile, playground, minded, asinine bullies.
Maybe FR should require posters to pass a test on proper board conduct before posting.
That seems much better than the hazing that happens now, as a lame excuse for instruction.
The whole world is starting to look here to find examples of conservative bloggers.
Should their first encounter be the worst we have to offer, bullies?
As it is now, asinine, bullies are the welcome committee at FR.
Is that what you want?
Welcome to FR!
If your points are valid, folks will generally respect them.
I think it's nice to have "newbies". Maybe good, conservo "newbies" will eventually replace the liberal "old-timers". :-)
You forgot to put "vanity" in your title.
