A little contest

Again, so much defensiveness. I don't know why you guys are so quick to say, "That's not how it is," when you could just go, "That's what we are and we like it that way." I have neither accused you of wrongdoing nor judged you for anything I have seen. But all this denial is sad. Embrace who you are, gentlemen, because everyone sees it, and have fun with it.

Please, show me where I have been defensive? I'm assuming you're including me in your statement by your use of the word guys. You screwed the pooch here, no one else. Your response to badwhale's very simple and straight forward question is where you went wrong. I LMAO at the condescending tone you apparently like to take in your posts.

You, sir, have been given deference above and beyond most other newbs. For a couple of reasons, not the least of which is the person who invited you here...whose name you didn't hesitate to drop in your intro post. To me, that was your first insecure move. You should have just let him come on your thread and say he knows you, but instead you kinda forced him to. Transparent and weak.

If you look honestly at your participation on this board so far, you would see that you should have had your ass handed to you much earlier than this. You have arrogantly and condescendingly trampled all over the forum. You offer a false, psuedo apology for making one erroneous blanket statement only to follow that with additional "blanket observations" on how this forum works. Pretty sad when you think about it.

Back up a bit in this thread and explain to me to whom you were addressing this post:

Clearly you're not addressing badwhale. Otherwise you would have begun with "Seems YOU'RE a little blah,blah,blah". Proselytizing to the audience perhaps?

You're up, I gotta go to lunch.

I don't know what to say. I've never been a victim of this public 'hazing' you seem to think all members endure. I guess I'm just too cool a guy.

I do find it interesting that you're so quick to have this place pegged, after less than 30 days and 100 posts, having not participated in any trade, pass, PIF or anything. Maybe I am the one who doesn't get it.
