I find it hilarious how threads from newcomers like myself that read "hi i am newe here and i really like nekkid girlz w/ tattoos and piercings! is there anyone in south cali that wanna hang out!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?" are greeted with more amity than seen here.
I've never had a problem with the people here. In fact, I've met some spectacular folks here. Maybe if new members took just a little time to look around and get a feel for the boards (I did because I was afraid of getting flamed to hell) they might not fare so badly. Seriously, it's not that hard to read the rules, read a few threads and then start posting.
Nah. I find it refreshing that you consistently post things that are on topic and interesting, in addition to being prolific. Although I dunno, maybe you have some posting dungeon where you post little catchphrases, like "eep!" over & over again... but oh! My ignorance, it is bliss.

...Lastly, perhaps I should have waited a while longer to post such a topic, so I could get a better feel for the general attitude of this community. I'm not new to the way people can act on message boards, so my first reaction is to get defensive.
I apologize for not explaining myself in a more concise manner from the start.
Wait...this is entirely too intelligent and decent response for these boards...are you trying to trick us?
But seriously, I like you. It's not often people actually admit they made a mistake (even if they didn't, just might have made one) instead of defending their position to the bitter end. Glad to have you here.
