But--but-- It's so apt. And of Our Culture!
Okay. I am chastened, somewhat. But I still think we should reserve a rolled up newspaper for spamming newpuppies.

Thank you for reading my post, though this was not the point I was attempting to make.
Could you clarify, then? (Honest request, because that's what it seemed to be saying, and I'd like to know what you were getting at.)

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I'm gonna go sit my newbie ass in Beverly's corner. And then giggle like a 12-year-old at any and all lube references.

They can be my minions.
I see them more as backup singers.

Thrive to spite them
I was going to post that everyone was new once but people beat me to it.
And yes I think there needs to be a better way to deal with new people who are trying to figure things out.
One thing I know that happened with Beej is she stepped on the soapbox a few times and this board is filled with intelligent people and people who have a very knee jerk reaction to anything that seems like they are being told what to do/lectured at.
Except, new people don't necessarily have a way of knowing that. Yes, it would be great if new people lurked and figured out the way the board worked. But that doesn't always happen and even if it did new people aren't going to know what are hot buttons for some people.
Heck, I'm not even sure what everyone's hot buttons are and I've been here for good amount of time.
