I understand what you are saying, but most of the noobs you are referring to in here either learn as time passes or get tired of being ignored or slapped around. I was a newb in here at one time as well. I just don't feel as if I have to leave because of another's lack of knowledge. I sincerely miss most, if not all who left ~even the assholes... And there are times when I ask myself why I participate here, but there are far more times when I know why I stick around. The quality of the content goes up and down from time to time, but as a whole, it has remained relatively worthwhile to read in the 11 yrs I've been around. You do have your 25 incarnations of farva, your daniels, your electricians, your C H A M I O N S H I P haters, but you also have Cru, Akin, Sim, Marlow, pit, WW, Julia, Nancy, jersey mike, Kircher, RZ, J Mc, ect to offset the less-than-desirable. Even today, there are far more reasons to stick around here than to leave IMO. I think you put me in the wrong group. . . . . I didn't realize it took so many to offset me... Hammer, I have always been intrigued by your intellect, it has been your delivery at times that has put me off. While I am impressed with the new leaf you have recently turned over, with all due respect, I'd quite honestly prefer the person who is in the middle of your two extremes, because I know he is there. Hep me out here. Is it Michael E. or SpeedRacer who made this middle of the road statement to Hammer?  or not? |

microcosm if you will, of the world in general when enough random populous
is included in the sample. You get good folks, bad folks, indifferent folks,
folks of all types.
The problem has begun to come down to some people's inability to disagree
without serious flaming, or at the very least, personal insults. In life,
and in USENET. You're either laid back or a hater, sadly, with very little
in-between anymore. Case and point, you and I disagreed a few weeks ago
(bleeder-rim gate), and suddenly, I was an asshole. You couldn't take my
firm assertions on the subject as anything but an insult, and reacted
accordingly I assume. Like I said, welcome to life in general anymore.

It is not necessary to belittle a person to get your point across.
Saying things like "having to talk down to your audience" really isn't
information necessary to further along the debate, it can only be used as a
tool to deride.
That was my problem with you, that was the cause of my a-hole comment.
I care not to reignite an argument, I just felt the need to clarify my
position.

not to descend to a lower level of comprehension in this chatroom.

I also lay claim to the fact that I have been an aggressive participant in
many flame wars around here.
I'm not proud of this, I guess I am just too easily offended.
One unfortunate aspect of conversing in this type of forum is that it is
rather easy to misinterpret the actual intentions in the thoughts (and
words) of another poster.
