Noob Forum?

Posted on 02/11/2010 10:09:01 AM PST by wizard1961

Would a forum to invite newbies to ask questions help increase participation?

Part of its charm is that it cuts everyone equally.

Assuming you mean this as a compliment all I can say is that I believe - as corny as it may sound - that fair dealing is a Conservative principle and I try to live up to it.

You'll probably find out if you hang around awhile that I take very little too seriously but I do take Conservative principles quite seriously. It's important to me and I believe it is important to every good FReeper around here.

If you live by those tested Conservative principles then your heart and mind are free to enjoy life. And FReepers do that, too. On the whole Conservatives are happier people than liberals and that is to our tremendous advantage. :0)

A newbie with a vanity?

Cut him some slack, Smitty, he's asking an eternal philosophical question; 'Why am I here?'.

I'm pondering that too. Why is he here?



Cheese!

The first forum I ever joined... I was so polite. I made these excellent (for me) and well thought out posts. My spelling & grammar were solid. I went for weeks, never getting a reply. Eventually...

I insulted someone at random... my post actually had nothing to do with what I was replying to... and voila: lot’s & lot’s of replies & converstaion.

Maybe I learned the wrong lesson....

Anyway, if I can make one contribution here: The Tea Party fans really, really should be called “Teapers” — doncha think?

Thanks for the kind words....

We'll run that one by the Executive Committee - and get back to you.

I've found the 3 easiest ways to gain respect on FR and fit in without upsetting anyone are best described in 3 phrases of 3 words each:

1) Support Mitt Romney

2) Quote Alex Jones

3) Pimp your blog

Try it, you'll see.

Okay...I’ll stop now.

If you have something to say in reply to what I wrote, why not say it in open forum - or is there something in that PM you do not wish posted?

Messing with our FRiend shibumi is a bad way to get started, wiz.

“Maybe I learned the wrong lesson....”

Dazz ok. Yogi Berra explained to the reporters after a loss that “we made the wrong mistakes”
