I had nobody to talk to about "it" Those in don't want to hear you, those out don't know what the hell you are talking about.
Yeah, what smack said. Robyn too.
This is funny. There are now so many threads on "how to be nice to each other and newbies", I am getting worried. I feel a song from "The Sound of Music" coming on.....Doe a Deer I think....
When I first lurked, the flame wars were hot and steady. Many of those posters are gone. Many still post here. I stayed, watched and decided who was a dickhead and who was not.
Frankly, my opinion of those that are still here has not changed. There are jerks, nice people and everything in between. There are young people who feel that their 20 years on earth has given them the insight and perspective to run the world. Go for it. (That, BTW, is sarcasm)
There are always going to be disagreements. Newbies will realize this when they take a step back and think. "Oh, yeah. People on a DB are like they are in life. Jerks, nice and in-between. I just have to learn to deal with it. Like everything else."
Like we all did.
Just my .02
