Rude!!!

I have found quite the opposite really. Helpful, informative, hilarious people are all that I have encountered.

I'm a new poster and no one has been rude to me.

I think what frustrates people who have been on this site for months are the very repetitive questions - answers to which are in Page 1 on the forum in the FAQ section. Then there's the numerous newly created "add me" threads, or people who loosely discuss something banal with an "add me" at the end of their post. There are plenty of add me threads - I read them and found "friends" that way.

In other words, if a new poster spends a few moments reading through the basics and how the forum operates, I doubt anyone would be rude ever. Does it excuse the rude behavior? Maybe not, but I can certainly empathize with those seeing the same items over and over when each is addressed on the first page.

Some posters are rude. Just as some are friendly, sarcastic, dim, etc....

Don't be deterred and post what you will. Just bear in mind what usually brings out the rude in the more active posters:
- a bazillion add me threads.
- why can't I level up to level 25?
- an unwillingness to use the search.

We get upset or rude when new posters only make new add me threads. Also when they post in other threads saying add me, it detracts from the threads original idea.. There are a few add me threads with thousands of name in it but no they want to be lazy and have the other persons do the work in adding them.

/gets off soapbox.

That's what I would have said if I wasn't lay down in a stupid position, with only one finger free

You're just lazy! I just did that! :P

And that, Roadblock, is what puts us Canadians on a higher plane.

That and a love of hockey of course (although since you're a Leaf fan, I don't know if you count...)

Woah, woah, woah... Hold the phone! I never said I was a leafs fan. I like the Marlies better!

Ahh, you prefer the minor form of truculence! My insult is thereby removed.

I've found so far on this forum that most posters are rude and nasty to new players-posters. Guess I won't be posting hear much!

shh!

Oh, don't keep quiet on my account. Better the Sabres than the Leafs.

Of course, neither are the Canadiens, but some people do need to root for other teams.

Rest assured hockey fans, you will now get games AND your favorite player will have his OWN hotel room on road trips! That's putting the biscuit in the basket! (Hockey was the one sport I played growing up, and now I can barely tolerate it. If I were a megalomaniac, I'd go after hockey owners for signing contracts they knew they'd never honor.)
