I still stand by my reasoning. The "room full of people you don't know" analogy is very apt. You need to get to know people before you start telling them what you think of them, as I've said twice or more already. This does NOT, repeat NOT mean I do not expect any new members ever to post in SYG: I just think they should wait until they have guts to spill. Be interesting to see how you twist that. Quote:

You've also conveniently ignored the point about the journals, which you brought up, god knows why as it has nothing to do with people being accepted. I'd like to hear your logic on how that fits in? One more time though: no matter how much you want me to be, I am NOT opposed to noobs (and I'll keep saying it because I don't believe anyone else finds it in the least offensive: some people start their intro thread with "Hi! Noob here!") joining in or creating threads. I think that's the best way to integrate yourself into the forum and learn who's who. I advocate waiting to post in SYG until you know people, that's all. I don't think that's a mind-alteringly radical stance to take. And I think a lot of people here agree with that. Some don't and that's fine, everyone is entitled to their opinion. But you will not make me out to be some sort of noob-hater because I am not. I was a noob once, so were you. Why would I hate them or want to make them uncomfortable?

It's pretty rare that I'm just completely incapable of seeing where someone is coming from, but I am clearly just so far on the other side of the coin on this issue. You can say you're "not opposed to noobs" all day but you clearly just see them in a much different way than the rest of the members here solely because they haven't been registered as long. I mean, how many people do you know that have tried to fit in here and couldn't or was turned off by the site? Because I know a few, and that's what I'm basing this on, along with the scenario where Roxy basically lynched Kart for no reason, which is something you're defending. That's just not how I think people should be treated, so you can keep having your ideologies and I'll keep on thinking the way I think and that's pretty much the last that can be said on the manner. Just so everyone knows, I still think I'm right, and I don't know how too much tolerance could ever be perceived as a bad thing, but it'll all be okay in the end because I'm just here to fuck around at this point. Strive for glory etc. The disappointing part is that if a week ago someone told me Trollheart would disagree with me on this matter, I would've laughed because I never would've thought that.

If a month ago someone told me Trollheart didn't like ABACAB I would've laughed because I never would've thought that.

Yes because Abacab was a good album.

My current perspective is this:
- Have basic rules that keep the place from spiraling into a madhouse. - Now leave it the f*ck alone and let nature do the rest. If we have to coddle and hand-hold people to stay here, they're not worth being here. Let 'em be adults and choose to f*ck off as they wish. This is a self-sustaining system. It requires very little maintenance if people don't shove sh*t in the gears. Why make this more difficult than it needs to be? We're not trying to create a f*cking utopia here. We're just here to talk to people we like about sh*t we like and that's it. As for the "noob" thing... Sure, let's legislate something into the rules that denies the use of an expression based on the assumption that everyone is affected by it in the same way a few are... Next, we can ban people for saggy pants and showing their underwear. What is this, Louisiana? Gtfo.
