Thread Name: BS: GUESTS
Subject: RE: BS: GUESTS
Mr "All"..you do not indicate how long you have been reading these threads, or whether you have posted under a 'name' in the past. But you sure seem to me to mis-represent what it means to be a member and how non-members are viewed and/or treated.

MANY nice folks post regularly without a cookie, perhaps because their only access is at work..etc...and they are treated just fine, because they 1) behave and 2) use a regular ***NAME*** .....but those who pop in with NOTHING but 'guest' as identification and proceed to harrass, flame, or troll for reactions get EXACTLY the derision such actions deserve.

It feels very much to me like the juveniles who spray paint comments and slogans on walls in 'rivals' territory...

Are there 'cliques' here?..*shrug*...there ARE groups of people who have known each other & chatted for up to 5 years....and they have little jokes and stuff that it is impossible to 'explain' every time they are mentioned.....just like in real life.

Lordy, I get weary with this vague, anonymous complaining every few months...ususally by someone who simply does not try very hard to be part of the group and would rather bait & troll and waste time.

(yeah, I bite the bait too sometimes...must be some wierd virus I picked up)
