Title: I am new here and just registered.
Post by: Tundra on September 19, 2010, 05:53:28 AM


Is this where I say hello?  I tried to send a message earlier but am not sure if am doing this right. 

Hope someone will respond to me.

Thanks very much,
Tundra

Welcome to the forums, Tundra. Have fun, and play nice.
Title: Re: I am new here and just registered.
Post by: Tundra on September 19, 2010, 05:59:56 AM
Thanks, but I never implied I would not play nice.

I lurked here for a bit and saw your pics at Ground Zero, they were very nice.

Thank you. I just figured I'd add in that bit because, well..I don't know you. You don't know me, and I basically tell all members that. Or rather...suggest. See, there've been a decent number of new members in the past couple months that have regestered, and in fact haven't played nice.

Just figured I'd give you friendly advice. Have fun at the Cave.  :cheersmate:

I understand where you are coming from, but wouldn't it be better to give newcomers the benefit of the doubt.

I am here to chat, I might not add too much to the conversation as am from Canada, however, I went to another website and they are so in lockstep, it was boring.  So from there, I found your website and lurked for a while and then decided to register.  What I like about here is that you all accept different views.

Please do not judge me before you get to know me!

Thanks in advance,
Tundra

That is indeed true. We do accept different viewpoints, and angles to discussions. Hopefully, we'll have many good discussions, and just good 'ol general banter.

Please don't take me for a jerk. I just try to give a heads up to all new members.

I'm the welcome wagon.  :-) You may call me Rev. Everyone else does.

[dutch]  BS for complaining about a harmless saying and for being from Canada.  [/dutch]

Play nice, don't play nice.   It's all good.

Post by: Tundra on September 19, 2010, 06:41:31 AM
Thanks for the advice to new people.  Actually, I really do appreciate it.

Likewise, am also looking forward to chatting with you and other members on here.  What amazes me most about you is that you are so young and so very intelligent.

I find a lot of the people on here to be very open minded and I am only here to get to know you all and find some common ground.

Politics divide us sometimes but in the long run, we are people who care for the success of our respective countries generally and the world in a wider sense.

Sorry for rambling.

What is your problem?  You attack people who are new on here just for the fun of it?

Wow, you are just itching to take people on.   Revolution made a very innocent comment "play nice" which is harmless and rather common and you are all over him for it. 

Tundra, just start posting in threads already or this will be the first welcome thread that ends up in the fight club.   :whatever:

Sorry, why are you so hostile?

Rev was fantastic in his welcome and I replied in like manner.

I was making light of your reading way too much into Revolution's comment of "play nice."       I don't get hostile over internet posts from strangers.   
Title: Re: I am new here and just registered.
Post by: Tundra on September 19, 2010, 07:04:02 AM
Please get to know me before you slam me!

Rev and I were exchanging conversations and not once we got hostile towards each other.

Are you hazzing me in order for me to feel comfortable chatting on here?  Curious minds want to know?  I do not know you nor do you know me and there is no need for you to slam me just because I signed up here!

Am surprised that the Mods do not welcome people on here or intervene when members become hostile.

If am not wanted on here, please say so, do not allow formerlurker to abuse me!

I am here to chat, not to engage in insults!

Oh my.     I will keep this short so you don't spend much more time over-analyzing the words I post.    The forums are -----> way.     You can leave this thread.   It's ok, really.

Oh quit your bitchin.

You over reacted to a totally harmless comment.

If your skin is so thin as to go into histrionics over such a small thing you might want to reconsider playing with the adults.

Oh, that's wonderful. It seems my 10 year-old niece has not only figured out how to use blogs, she's apparently a libtard, to boot.

Remind me to smack my little brother with a frying pan next time I see him.

Nah, you won't have to remind him.  Kind of like Inigo Montoya forgetting about the six-fingered man...just ain't gonna happen.

I think you're reading way too much into what was a harmless comment.  No one here has threatened or been excessively rude to you.

Welcome to CC, I guess.

Well.....so far you have nearly half the moderators, and two administrators posting in this thread.......it is not the policy of this board for the staff to "protect" members (even new ones) from the established posters........you are pretty much on your own here.  Should your posted remarks violate the rules, action from the staff can be expected.

I suspect the "play nice" remark was the result of the fact that we have had several new members over the past few days that have signed up, posted a bunch of drivel, and disappeared, or been tossed off.  It wasn't personal, just the result of recent actions from other newcomers.  We tend to get trolls and disruptive newcomers in "bunches".......don't know why, but it happens.  Our apologies if you have been painted with the wrong brush, so to speak.

If your intentions are truly honorable, you will get along fine here.  However, if you are politically liberal, you can expect some hazing, and your positions will be strongly challenged......this IS a conservative board, after all.........that said, welcome to CC, and I certainly hope that your stay is enjoyable.

Welcome to the board. Based on what I've read and your "report to moderators" on a member, I don't think you are going to last very long, especially when the post in question was as demure as the one you reported.

I am back, sorry for not engaging in the past few days!

Thank you all for the welcome and I apologise for starting out in the wrong way.  It was never my intention to be snarky on here, but I was going with the flow to the members who responded.

I thought that introducing myself in the lobby would be a nice way to start chatting.  However, am not here to discuss politics, I just want to chat with nice people and eventually, we can veer off into politics.  If you still want to know more about me and my political ideology, please feel free to ask!

Best wishes to all of you and do remember, we can be civil to each other and agree to disagree where politics is concerned.

Bye for now!

Nice is nice. Insufferable, whiny, defensive, and just plain stupid isn't nice.

Welcome to CC.

Really.
