Ha! I loved the reputation system. That was good for a lot of fun. Except, if I remember correctly, only a few people could give rep. And people ended up with bad rep for no real reason that I could figure out.

I'm just sick of people posting their opinions in threads that are 5+ pages long without reading the thread first. Chances are someone else already said that. And chances are further that that specific post has either been thanked or responded to. So you probably don't have to drop you useless opinion here.
I say this as someone who read about 5 pages of this debauchery and called it a day. We're all useless sometimes. Puckluck & peter12 more than others.

Every thread is the same.

This is what I've noticed too. When someone tries to start a discussion the first few posts and even pages are either:
a) the regulars saying "Way to fata" or "Fata" or something with the word fata
b) after that's done it's probably another handful of posts either mocking the OP or just making jokes and puns.
Things like this just have a negative affect on discussion. Instead of making fun of the OP just figure out what they said and provide a decent reply. Sure, there are some topics that may be dumb or some people may not have high English levels like other posters but does that make it right to mock the OP? Maybe I'm the only person who feels this way but at times when I see this happens it really discourages me from making posts or creating new topics of discussion.
Another example of people just being angry at each other can be seen in the Tech Forums. It seems as though every topic of discussion ends up being a mud throwing match between a group of posters (anti-Apple) and a poster that is pro-Apple.

Thanks, but if you would have read this thread you would have known your opinion has been stated like 5 times now.

How dare you say something like that while innocent chidren are deaf. If I have a deaf child, I'm going to tell him all about your insensative comment.

I think its that people are always this irritable and angry, but the internet gives them this safety blanket of anonymity that allows them to be intolerant to ignorance.

Some fellers like gals, other fellers like fellers, and even some gals like gals. If it's okay with the big feller in the sky it's okay with me.

If Boston put out a retrospective album, would they call it Don't Look Back?

Not exactly... some of us lurked long enough to know how much we'd need to support our argument and were ready for it. Unfortunately not everyone does that, and this place isn't even that intimidating anyways. If new posters are getting intimidated it's because of the snark, not because of the quality of the discussion.

You know what I was just trying to lighten the moment, oh great master and judge of what is good on this site
Your response goes right back to the comments made by other "noobs" you fail to make this a welcome place for some. But you enjoy your little clique as it seems important to you .
