Kids...this is sposed to fun remember????
For those that don't know...I'm a Mod here too....I'm one of the more irreverent ones w/ the oddball sense of humor, so keep that in mind as I take a whack here...
Lets recap shall we???
Dingo's post has been edited, by Dingo...good.
Mods have expressed displeasure at what is percieved (whether it was intended or not) as flaming /harsh language towards someone new who has problems....(not touching the potential troll thing...yet..)..this is because we have seen many other places turn in to a free for all of name calling and teasing/harrassment that is only entertaining to a few as opposed to a website that is entertaining and a source of knowledge for many. I can play the witty comeback game as well as any and better than most..I've got many years as a bartender in a slammin busy bar filled w/ drunk frat boys and rowdy bikers and I could handle all who wanted a shot at the title...I reign it in cause it can cause more trouble than it solves here.
I know people have heard the term "Time and Place".
Frankly all of you Nano kids seem like you'd be a blast to hang out w/ over drinks, (to me anyway) and no doubt we could have some fun conversations...that wouldnt be acceptable here, because this isnt the place for it. Maybe someday we'll get the chance.
Nano kids, (sorry... easy to refer to y'all that way..hope its not taken badly...not meant as an insult.) have gone on record as supporting Dingo's bluntness and as being cranky someone would buy something they nothing about...great, glad friends back each other up...keep in mind, nobody has made any noise about the advice Dingo gave being wrong, just wrongly put. Telling someone you think they are wrong isnt a problem...telling 'em they're a stupid ^$#^$@ idiot can be..and is here. Please remember guys, (everyone) this isnt an "Us vs Them" sorta thing at all...It might be a different environment than you guys (nano-kids) are used to though. Just a brief example....say I pee in my sink at home...no big deal its my house, I can do what I want, right? Well, then you invite me to your place....suddenly whats cool in my house isnt so cool in yours. And I'm not understanding why you're so mad at me, cause I'm used to doing that at my place. Its an exaggeration, but a decent enough example.
We geniunely would like you guys, (Nano-kids) to stay. I think you guys have a lot of input that is useful, but you're gonna have to accept our way of doing things...sorry bout it, but thats life.
I just recently got hired as a police officer, (so no more bar tending for me.), and one of the Lts. said something that impressed me very much...
"Being courteous does not make you less effective."
I think that can be applied here as well.
