Is this forum too hard on newcomers?

[AtW]

Other posters including the ones I've met in real life but not revealed who I am are generally nice people.

Which other poster did you pretend to be?

[EternalOptimist]

I usually give noobs a rough post. just to make sure they can take it.

but only in general. If someone talks sh!te in the serious fora, it needs to be dealt with properly.

In general though, if you are going to spend your online life bantering with someone, better make sure they are not a bum sucking, low life , left wing, southern, limp wristed , man utd supporting, guardian reading, faggot


no offence intended

[MarillionFan]

Poll to follow.

No. Now feck off and don't come back until you've reached 100,000 posts like the rest of us.

Newbie scum.

MF. That way you can turn up, be as offensive as you like, and everyone thinks it's the norm.

That's what I did.

General is good for a bit of banter, however there is a clique that hunts in a pack, let's call them the tea-bagger party. Obvious pattern is when you out wit one of them (not that difficult) suddenly the usual suspects spray the thread with Ad hominem attacks and you get a nice Smörgåsbord of neg reps.

Join the CUK Clique group and become part of the pack

Entry to the clique is quite easy, be lighthearted, get involved and don't take life to seriously.

Oh and if you -VE Proggy that always gets bonus points

Must be a different clique.

That's the TPD clique, not the General (specifically) clique

[Pogle]

Sometimes. But you'd expect someone to lurk a bit first, not post a tittish first question, and stop being a tit when the error of your ways is pointed out.
Or call Sas names - that usually gets a laugh.

If only that were true
