I wish I knew what I was talking about

It does suck when shit gets so for off the beaten path, or "derailed" like SAFETY-MAN said, but i gotta be honest, and all may disagree if they'd like, but it IS this kind of drama that keeps everyone coming back to it. It's like the Howard Stern study that was done eon's ago that established the fact that the majority of the public that possessed a pulse HATED HIM. Yet they kept coming back to him for ONE REASON.... TO HEAR WHAT HE HAD TO SAY NEXT.

I really dont think that it's a matter of everyone "JUMPING ON THE RJH, CYTO, TEUTONIC, OR DREW BANDWAGON"..... I think its the fact that people poke around here sometimes for day and weeks at a time trying to muster up the courage to make their first post and as creatures of habit, we gravitate toward people with confidence. That being said, ANABOLICO has a great point when he says that the response a "newbie" gets from a first post could dictate whether or not they ever post again, but on the other hand, if we have no trouble being human PIN CUSHIONS, then some need to just have a bit thicker skin. Nobody can win a "TOUGHMAN CONTEST" over the internet. Its stupid to try. But there are some good points made here that hopefully everybody can pick up on.

**** If I mispellededed anythang wron't, itt cause i'm still be's sleepy.

Good point Chip,
I agree there were many good points made on this thread. This is an open forum were sometimes you're like what you read and other times you're not.
That being said, I do believe we have to think before we post, you can still get your point across without being an Ass***e about it.
I know this is not the Doctor Phil show, but after all, everyone here is pretty much here for the same reason to learn, & help others.
& even if a newbie sounds like a "retard" Isn't that how we all were when we started ? (ok, maybe I'm still a little retarded j/k

OH & C'mom we all know who owns the title for TOUGHEST MAN ON THE INTERNET..That would be "Pinga's Steven Seagal persona" lol

i understand what you're trying to say, but when i refer to someone being a retard (you can say my name btw i won't get offended), its not because they ask a seemingly silly question. i refer to them that way because they don't listen. over and over again. thats when it becomes annoying.

believe me, i will explain something to someone all day long if it takes that to get them to understand, and I have numerous times. They don't gain retard status until they actually become a retard. Perfect example I can't remember recently was GIXXER. Yes, he got a little pissed after not listening post after post. But when all was said and done, he let me know how much he appreciated my help and now he understands what i was saying. And this goes for everyone. I may be the biggest asshole but I'm not the only one.

Listen, I was a newb once and made a lot of mistakes. I was 'set straight' a shit load of times by MODs and former long time members. And you know what? I didn't run away like a little fucking pussy cause my feelings were hurt. I sat there and said to myself "shit, wtf was I thinking? That was dumb. OK, now I understand" Then I came back and posted how I now understood. And I kept learning.

Its amazing how sensitive people are on the fucking internet of all places.

And just for the record... Steven Seagal is
