Newbie Looking for some Tips

[ashauler]

Well, I thought I'd ask because the users here seem to have a lot of pet-peeved, and I didn't know if one or the other would result in a second round of this.

I didn't realize that would also rub someone the wrong way...

Good grief. You really can't be that socially retarded can you?

I'm not. Christ, so many users were just so pissed off that I thought I'd try not to piss anyone off after this event. Apparently, that kind of thing angers you though.

Also, I really don't think you can judge someones social ability through the Internet, but I'd be interested to hear your theories should they be published.

I just don't see how it was a bad question to ask...

I'm not pissed in the slightest, and have actually been nice to this point.

Indeed I think a persons social ability can be judged by their actions on the interweb. Where else is a person judged solely on what they say (type) and how they interact with others without the bias of class, looks, color, race, and all that other shit. I would venture to say that social skills are more fairly judged in this manner.

Exactly, which is why I don't see why the question couldn't have been answered. It was, after all, an incredibly simple question.

O.K., I'm gettin' older, and I can't keep track of shit like I used to, so remind me which incredibly simple question are we talking about here? The spelling one, or is it the which cigar to smoke one, or the where do I apologize one?

Fark,

I am still trying to figure you out (as most members might be also). Please answer the following questions:

1. Whats your age (very important at this point)?
2. Whats your location (city/state is fine)?
3. What are your hobbies (don't mention cigars)?
4. What is so hard to understand that you need to ask 20 questions about the same thing?

I am being serious about this and am refraining from hurting your feelings at this point. I am VERY interested in your response.

1. 18 (I'm pretty sure someone here will bring up an issue of mental maturity, right?)

2. Just outside Chicago, IL.

3. I enjoy sports. I play hockey and lacrosse competitively and other sports in IM or rec leagues. I would also consider some aspects of academics to be a hobby (it depends on the subject), Marine Biology, for example, lead to involvement in the hobby of SW Tank and Reef keeping. Other things that I enjoy, but don't get to do as much, would be fishing and hunting, as well as photography.

Edit: I forgot one hobby that I actually participate in everyday... Cars/Motorcycles/Engine work. Sorry Shelby, but it appears we share a hobby. I'm currently rebuilding an '82 Kawasaki 440.

4. This is ironic, but...I don't know which question I asked 20 times. Please point it out. If you're addressing the where/how to apologize, i'll figure it out on my own. I was simply asking, because as I stated earlier, it appears that a fair amount of active users here are easily rubbed the wrong way, and I didn't want to do that again so I figured I would ask to see if there were any potential standards for that sort of thing. If that's not what you're addressing, then I'd be interested to know what you are and will respond at that point.

The where to apologize one...

The where to apologize one...

I think, perhaps, it is not so important where you post it.

Just outside of Chicago, eh? North sider or south sider? Cubs fan or Sox Fan?

...that's when I'll make my mind up as to whether or not you're worthy of posting on our precious site...


BTW - I just want to say that this ones spells pretty doggone good for an 18 year old...

Not only do you want us to tell you what cigars you'll like and dislike, but it seems you want us to write the right kind of apology for you so it will be accepted here. Why don't you just publish your password and we'll write your posts for you, too.

That's not at all what I have been asking. I simply asked if it would be better written here or in a seperate thread. I don't see what's complicated about that...
