Agree! Reading some of the conversations on here, it sure discourages new members from joining in for fear of being bullied or put down. Very much like "high school"! :yuck:Hook":1cdnt31f said:I was referring to people's lack of patience with new members questions. I'm guilty as well sometimes. What I see happening on this board is what I see on a few others I'm on. Long time mbers develop friendships, groups of like thinkers, etc much like high school. Except the incoming freshman have no idea how things run. And the seniors know it all and have no patience for anyone but seniors.
Just thought it was a good comparison that maybe we all can work on

Yes, I see both points......"The Posse" and the "Crap stirrers." Two very different issues, but both obvious deterrents for new participants.M5farm":3roloxc9 said:Yall have missed my point, it is not about new members as most are very cordial. I'm referring to the people that are constantly trying to stir the crap. They post crap that on its own could be information some may be interested in but then their real agenda comes out. Flounder is one example.
I've been busy and a little burnt out on this site for about a week, checked in today and I don't think I've missed much at all.greybeard":3h9gd6dw said:Was gone yesterday, it appears I missed something............
Wasn't anything or anyone in particular, just been busy and seems like there ain't been much worth talking about.highgrit":3bq52s4z said:DMF, good to see your back. I am glad to see you didn't let him win for to long. I am ready for your market reports again.
Glad I can keep you entertained. :lol:Hook":1j10kn7f said:I always get a kick out of others that haven't any patience with other. Very telling

If someone gets banned from this site and then shows back up with another name, but we all know who it is and they even adkowlege it, why don't they get kicked off again under there new name?
Yep, and there not welcome here under one name, but show up the next week with a new one and then it's all ok, why kick them off if they can come right back?Bigfoot":2mwr58o6 said:denvermartinfarms":2mwr58o6 said:Maybe someone else can explain this to me, because I have never understood it.

That's a puzzler to me as well. Jesus ain't welcome here, but they are.
Cross you speak the truth! I sure do hope I portray myself as thin, beautiful, and very smart! Lol ;-)cross_7":26rd42yy said:Don't misinterpret politeness and kindness as weakness or honesty and humility as ignorance
Don’t be mislead into believing a sharp tongue and combative nature as courage or an inflated ego and audacity as intelligence
The ones that contradict everyone to prove his intelligence or insulting to others in an attempt to portray courage is nothing more than a charade to hide weakness and insecurity
On the forums where they can hide behind a keyboard with a made up user name allows them to portray themselves as who they would like to be opposed to who they actually are.
Those are one of two categorys. A) Feel they're too important to be ignored and have all the answers, B) pot stirrersBigfoot":as6n5qnc said:I don't get coming back after you've been run off once all ready. If I don't feel welcome somewhere, I just don't go there. I also don't understand how many of them are just spoiling for a fight. I mean come on. It's the Internet. Your not exactly impressing anybody with your won't back down attitude.
Third category to add- C) Bored, lonely, and want attention!dun":2vfex8ej said:Those are one of two categorys.
