*Shrug*
 
No one insulted me when I first came here... I also didn't do any of the following:
 
1. Open with an inane question.
"Hi! I just joined the list and I was wondering if anyone knew if Creed was going to be coming to Grisey Ridge to play the annual Sling Shot Turkey Shoot festival?" 
 
"How do I unsubscribe?"
 
2. I didn't use the phrase "CREED ROOOOOCKS!"
 
3. I didn't lurk for a couple hours and introduce myself by way of insult to the rest of the list.
"I just subscribed and I just thought I'd tell you that you're all mean and you all suck."
 
4. I DID follow the instructions on creed.com. I subscribed and promptly introduced myself and told a brief story about how I got into Creed's music.
 
You don't suppose that any of those things or a combination thereof had anything to do with me not getting flamed after my first post, do you?
 
(oh, that last line was, in fact, sarcastic - just thought I'd make that clear)

I'd like to see examples of someone getting yelled at for saying "hello".  Use both sides of the paper, if necessary.  If you can't provide them, STFU because your memory is too short to mesh with reality.  Nobody gets flamed for saying they're new to the list or for saying hello.  At least by the usual suspects.  I have, however seen lurkers and other newbies flame for sending "NCR" content in the form of "hihowareya's"



there have been alot of newbies that have posted and people have insulted them off the bat instead of welcoming them, or wait, I should say being sarcastic, no, nobody on here is being insulting, its all sarcasm. And thank you for telling me that my memory is too short, as usual you think you know everything, so why don't you STFU.
