A Noobs response

I cannot believe this cunty thread is still going on. For fuck's sake.

Context of the word "cunt" is key.It was used to belittle a newbie .That is entirely different than me calling you a cunt now.I don't mean it in the slightest ,you presumably know I don't mean it, and life moves on.

Yes, context is important. My point is that if you spend a very short time looking around here, you will notice that the word is used frequently, in different contexts.

If someone uses it as an insult, feel free to be insulted. Being extra offended by a word that's as common around here as saying 'hello' is a result of jumping in without paying attention.

Yes, some people insult first and ask questions later (or never). Also something gleaned by spending just a wee bit of time observing the locals. It's the nature of this forum, and if you're seeking something more warm and welcoming, a bit of observation would have shown you that this may not be the forum for you.

I liken it to visiting a new town. Don't expect them to change their ways to suit the out-of-towners.

I am not "extra" offended,just explaining the context upon which I was taking the piss.

I am always looking for something "warm and welcoming",particularly a juicy cunt.

Well, biologically even an 18 year old woman has probably only 6-year-old breasts.

Even if you double it to 12, she's still under aged.

I used 14 as a starting point, because I was once 14 myself.

Not sure if Colonel's words are serious or more tongue-in-cheek. Nevertheless, I'm grabbing this opportunity:


I'm well aware that I'm not the best example in all this. And yes, I do cringe, too, when I remember some of my previous posts and attitudes.

But I do not enjoy watching these so-called "initiation rituals" that we, older members tend to subject the "newbees" to. And if, God forbid, the "newbee" reacts, defensively, in kind, we then do the reverse psychology thing in which the newbee is portrayed as the aggressor, and we intensify our attacks.

And even if newcomers make the occasional gaffe, whatever that might be, wouldn't it be better if we cut them some slack just until they learned the ropes?

Well, since you asked. ;)

My take on it when I first came here was similar to yours. I LOVE internet snark, and some of the funniest stuff comes from everyday folks. But there isn't a lot of creativity involved when the first words out of a person's keyboard are "Fuck off and die, maggot." In those instances, your cringe was my cringe also.

But my attitude changed a little bit when noobs started displaying annoyingly typical patterns. Allow me to present the short list.

Instant gratification demands. "Hi, howyadoin, okayhere'smyproblem....." That's just a bit rude. Yes, people chime in with advice here, but it's best served with the context of some knowledge about who the person is gained over time. A first post indicating it's all about you, you, you doesn't get a lot of empathy from me, me, me. And the demand at the top of the list that transforms me into a homicidal maniac is, "I'm trying to find a lost story...."

The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. You can almost see the permanently fixed, radiant smile over the miles of copper wire and fiber optics. The unbridled joy. The inexhaustible optimism. She is SOOOO happy to be here and meet us, and she has no doubt that we will be just as excited to meet and welcome her. The problem is NOT that she is joyful and we're a scrooge. The problem is assuming everyone one views the world through her same rose-colored lens. It just so happens we have an active "unwelcoming committee" who is happy to correct that misjudgment by grinding those eyeglasses under foot. Also, there are just some people whose very mannerisms fairly demand that you throw a pie in their face. Pucker up, Kimmy.

Clueless in Cleveland. "How do I get a picture by my name?" "Why do I get so many PMs from old guys wanting to sex chat with me?" "How come my story hasn't been posted?" "How come chat isn't working?" "Why can't I copy and paste a photo within my post?" "Are there any folks here from Omaha?" "How come when you drop a coin it always runs under the vending machine?" "Are ALL islands completely surrounded by water?" Stop. We get it. Today's the day your parents finally allowed you to go outside. Fortunately for us they did not hire us to be your baby sitter. Unfortunately for you and them we WILL make it as difficult as possible to find your body.

Pointless introductions. "Hi, just wanted to say hi. Looking forward to getting to know you guys. I'm from Ohio. I'm a Capricorn. Really like sex, so this place seemed to be a natural. Not much of a TV watcher. I do like to travel..." Yo, Mortimer, the General Board is not the "generally bored" despite your best efforts. And your life story is neither obligated nor desired. This is NOT the first day of school. Oh, wait. Maybe it is. But you're not gonna like lesson one.

Anyway, these are just a few of the glaringly obvious personality challenged dolts who come here with little thought, preparation or consideration for those of us already in residence. These people aren't just NEW. They're practically unborn. Lit rules require they be at least 18 years of age. To me, that means they should have picked up a few social graces and a modicum of intelligence prior to arriving here.

Pardon me for indulging them on those occasions when they invite the oh-so-sharply-pointed reminder.

IMO:
Re the games that keep being played here, again and again, and again, and again… , between newbees/old members, or conservatives/liberals:


The only thing that annoys me about them is the ganging-up behavior that I see, from time to time.
Which is all about who holds the power.
- It's easy for us older members or for Lefties to carry crusades against newbees or the posters that annoy us, because we are the empowered majority. On the other hand, when those who are part of the Lit minority do the same to us - it's much less disruptive to the forum.


And I carry, indeed, a personal ulterior motive in all this.
I don't agree with some of their beliefs, but several Lit conservatives are intelligent & educated, and they come up with ideas that also lead to interesting or fun exchanges. Despite their deceptive, shit-stirring package. I also look up to them, in a sense, because they have the courage to stick to their own beliefs. Instead of being "pussies"(Lit. lingo) who bend to the majority's will, in order to fit in.
And I'm fed up with seeing those threads degenerating, almost Every Single Time, into a pissing contest.


So: Is there any other way of dealing or negociating with the "Lit minorities" that we disagree with? Besides ganging up on them, Clique-style?
 
ADDIT.

And Bucksmaster was right:
Come on, people, we keep losing interesting posters, if we continue with this shit !!

Like the OP or that Petey guy (his private life is none of my business, but what I care about is the fact that, from what I read, he used to come up with interesting things.)
 
General sense here seems it be that newbies should on day one be expected to understand all the "characters" and the in-jokes.That seems an unrealistic thing to achieve.Personally, I am not young enough to know everything as Oscar Wilde once said.

On that basis,I think I'll probably bid my farewell on here now.
 
I don't think that's it. I think the general sense is that newbs should sit back, read, and at least understand they don't know everything. One cannot walk into a social group anywhere, online or offline, and be in the know.

That said, you seem to packing your bags and leaving. That's probably for the best.

Gosh, not another potentially good poster who decides to leaves the forum. Can I ask you to give it just one more try?
It all depends on the thread that "newbees" are posting in. They start posting in the threads that appear more often on the top of the page. But there are plenty other (less visible) interesting threads. And many friendly attitudes.

EDIT.
The people who keep doing this stuff: you can barely count them on the fingers of both hands, but they are persistent.
The majority of GBers are, actually, really nice.

I'd start posting in the political threads. Plenty of name-calling and pissing conttests:rolleyes: there, too, but it's all done in a less organized or vicious manner. And -weird- the name-calling in those threads is also done in a teasing, camaraderie-type manner.
At the same token, there are plenty of sensible, considerate people who post there. And those threads can be, actually, lots of fun.

And in time, once I get to know "who's who" and who shares my own interests,
- I'd switch to the threads that suit me.


I'm a bit insistent because
1.a shame to lose good posters
2.I'm reflecting on my own experience: it started rough, but this place did wonders for the shitty place that my mind was in, when I started posting.

Aella, you don't seem a bad person; have you tried the playground forum yet? seriously, it might be better suited to you.
