Hey, Former Member:

Whine, whine, whine. Do you seriously believe that there is a two-tiered system around here? Do you think anyone cares about that? If theree was a two-tiered system, wouldn't it be a bit more difficult to become a member?

People who are guests are more likely to be trolling. That's a simple fact.

Those remarks from guests that are NOT insulting, degrading, stupid, or insensitive are treated like any comments made be those who've decided to register a name here. If you make a comment that helps someone or is funny, nobody cares if you're a guest or Max himself.

The real difference is that comments made by "members" that are insulting, degrading, stupid, or insensitive are usually accepted as unusual behavior and chocked up to a bad day. Generally that's all it is, because the regulars have posted here hundreds of times have a track record of being ok people.

Email/discussions are a less than perfect way to communicate, especially on sensitive issues. So it is easy to be misunderstoon and to misunderstand other peoples comments.

My sugggestion is that if you are easily offended, stay away from ANY discussion groups that allow people to go off-topic - that way, you're likely to be able to deal with it better.
