I'm sorry I just can't do the "90% of the world is morons so we should cater to them" idea. In case you haven't noticed, I'm gothic. You know... that type of person that this forum was originally intended for... yeah... we don't rank in the majority, even here, so why should I have to think about making things comfortable for the majority?

Goth or not, we shouldn't have to welcome the idiots just because they outnumber us.

Hell look at Ireland.

I'm not saying the Brits are idiots. I'm saying that just because they were outnumbered, didn't mean the Irish welcome the majority.

I'm freaggin sick of having to bend over backwards (snapping my own spine in the process) to cater to the majority's needs. Ironically it's this majority which is telling me how I'm a free person and whatnot. That I don't have to do anything just because someone says I do.

Does anyone understand the differences between freedom and democracy?!

I mean seriously. If we're free here then I'm fine. If we're a democracy ruled by the majority I don't know if I want to stay here.

Hasn't it always been this way.

My 2 cents - 04-08-02

OK, OK, I have to agree...hazing n00bs is (somewhat) fun, but I have to agree with the general consensus and save the flame for the lyrical Hibachis that need it.

As for the "Hi, I'm New" threads, I do think it's kinda sad they should even be there...why not just jump into a conversation instead of hanging a billboard over your head by proclaiming your n00bieness? I did...and got scorched by Red...and I love him anyway!!!

So there you have it.

jesus christ, darkstorm... shut up. no one's saying you have to 'bend over backwards' by not flaming someone because of their post count, it's not like it's that fucking hard. most of these people will open themselves up by doing something completely stupid down the road and just like anyone else, get flamed. just because they start a 'hi, i'm new' thread doesn't necessarily mean they should get beaten over the head for it. let them introduce themselves... when you meet someone for the first time they usually tell you their names, it's a social pattern and should be recognized by everyone as such. if you don't want to see their n00biness then don't click on the thread, just wait for them to post something topic related that you don't agree with.
