You know the ghosts because they are "new" to posting but know everything about everyone. Of course, they were longtime lurkers so that's the reason why.

Well I don't know anything about any of you all... I have seen a couple of you guys at the other place and had a limited knowledge of Shrink and Mofo before joining.
And I'm glad you didn't mean me Dante. I thought you were taking a shot at me. I'm here thinking, "WTF is flaming?"

If I'm wrong, then I'm sorry.
Give me some winners and we'll call it even.

Oh I have a thick skin and can defend myself... but I was wondering what Flaming meant and if you meant me, how I was doing it lol
I didn't take it personal, just wondered what it was if I was being accused of doing it lol

Re: Lets Be More Tolerant When New Posters Arrive...
oh alrighty... well, i have had some flaming done to me, but i really see no reason to do any of that myself. i may get snippy while defensive but really make an effort not to name call or say anything too personal.
no flaming for me as Flaming is for Flamers!

Re: Lets Be More Tolerant When New Posters Arrive...

Please if OSU and Ray and whoever are back lets not start with the
who is best friends,who has the biggest accounts,who is most credible,etc
garbage.
It really makes the crowd want to throw up. We get it you all love eachother.
Just some advice.

Re: Lets Be More Tolerant When New Posters Arrive...
Do you agree with his point Ken, or at least see where he's coming from? I don't think this site is worse than any other place but when you create class systems within a forum it can be distasteful for the bottomfeeders of the place. As humans we're weak, petty, vindictive people, we come to the internet where we can add 4 inches, lose 40 pounds and add a few zeroes to our net worth. We don't come to be reminded we're 2nd class citizens, LOL.
Carry on. :cheers

This thread is a good example of what I was saying above.
'In the old days' that thread would've had 100s of views and dozens of posts cheering on the winners and a lot of these in it :cheers 91023i2ndw;l :+excited-
One thing we posters had at one time was a sense of camaraderie, "us" against the "man." Dont see that much anymore

Re: Lets Be More Tolerant When New Posters Arrive...
I actually agree with joey here... I don't mind a lil hazing. And I knew the Ghost Hunting was bound to happen.
I guess I took exception to it all, because I was trying to just come to a place and just get down to talking about sports and such.
Figured I could just blend into the action and somehow, avoid the hazing/ghost hunting that was bound to come my way. But as The Noob so eloquently put, the rules apply to me too and my shit stinks just like everyone else's!
Well, maybe some of my long-winded posts stink too!

I hear ya Just a Man, and I was told to look out for you for some reason. But I agree, it's all about having a positive production, otherwise, it's just bs...
While my presence here has garnered some bs, I have strived to make a positive contribution around here. And once this settles down, I am sure you will see some of my posting numbers decline, when I'm not having to defend myself any longer, but the production value per post increase as my posts will be either about sports, making picks, or contributing to a conversation.
So, I'll toast with ya, here's to no horseshit :cheers

Keep up the good work sir...

I believe you must be doing something right to stir up this much ATTENTION...:cheers

Its kindof like gettin a charlie horse when a poster tries to single handedly change our style, we are the powerhouse of the forums and we dont want that to change to well mannered cheery boys.

Thanks Ken 91023i2ndw;l
I do believe your post will get me TAZED and HARASSED even more, but keep it coming boys.
More hits = More ad revenue = More funds for contests and such. I'll take one for the team here :cheers
