Okay, HG, listen up, because I don’t want to have to repeat this.
There may be an “in crowd” here. If so, I don’t give a damn about it. I don’t do cliques, and frankly, “in crowd” sounds like something from a bunch of high school girls. We’re adults, right? Since posting here, I’ve met a lot of cool people I like whom I enjoy posting to. I lurked here for four years before signing up, so I probably feel like I know them better than they know me. But——this is a forum. Jumping in and posting is what you do, and that’s what I will continue to do, and I thought I made that clear to you the other night.
I have a lot of respect for FR and for longtime posters. But don’t confuse respect with obeisance. We’re all just folks here, all hopefully donating members, and I have never met a butt worth kissing. That includes yours. I don’t have a single thing against you, although you clearly have a bug up your rear end for me. Your problem entirely, dude. I’d like to get along with you, but I’ll only meet you halfway. I won’t break my neck to do it.
You think you’re crusty and mean? You should see my father-in-law. I’ve dealt with the best.
I'm sorry you're a fat chick.

Yes, there are many cool people here.

Lots of mouthy n00bs claim things like that.

Perhaps you speak above your station.
I’d like to get along with you
That isn't out of the question. You still have be slapped around first.
You think you’re crusty and mean?
I'm all full of sunlight and rainbows. True story.
Well written. Like you I find some people just tiresome here on FR. The notion that someone has more credibility just because they’ve been here longer sounds like something out of a union thug’s handbook.
