Peace, we must have,a distubance in the force I feel. Yes newbies can be a pain, but newbies also look at us as tight-wads too. Seriously what it comes down to who is really making a big deal over the crap is us the older members. I mean how many little spits do we get into on the forums, just about one every day. What people need to see is words are more harsh then speaking to someone.

If you in person where messing around with someone and called them retarded they could tell you are joking by your tone of voice, if on the forums you respond to someone with "your a retard" they can't tell your kiding. That is why there are way more fights on forums then in person. Know to the part where I agree with Dino, yes there are newbies who join to make hell of everything cause they think it is funny, yet there are also newbies who don't know better, and we know Alcar can't take any of the blame for fights, he didn't start them, he is doing the best he can as a one man army, AbeBabe you too, considering you are on at different times.

I do believe that sheer crap that is put into threads can be punished through the example of being flamed a little just so they figure out that the choice they made was a bad one, but not to the point where they tell all their friends were a bunch a pricks, also someone who may be considering joining wouldn't find it welcoming for someone with 3 posts to have his block knocked off. But they should be flamed some just so they don't do it again (cause thats more affective, sad to say, then a polite letter asking them not to do it again.


Crap I wrote way to long again!
