I’ve been here 11 years for your 2.
This is not new.
Vulgarity and profanity are “things” that are icky but hurt no one really.
I remember that this is just a message board with mods who try to monitor recess. Sometimes, I don’t like when my posts get deleted while other more attacking posts are ignored. Again, it’s just a message board.
Don’t take this the wrong way, but I’m just wondering how long does someone need to be here, until they’re no longer considered a newbie, or not a part of “the club”? Again, I’m not trying to offend you, but I often read posts in which FReepers denigrate other FReepers who haven’t been here an apparently sufficient amount of time to be considered a valid part of the group. You know, kind of like the fifth grade. I’m not saying that’s what you’re doing by mentioning your 11 years, to my 2 years; I’m sure you’re speaking about what you’ve observed during your 11 years, but it just raised those questions in my mind. I, myself, have occasionally questioned a poster’s actual age, when they make a comment that sounds rather sophomoric, knowing that with age, comes (usually) increased wisdom. But there are some, who seem to take the attitude that any perceived challenge to their opinions by a newer FReeper, is an affront by someone who has no right to post a comment, disagreeing to something they’ve posted. Just wondering.
