With such firepower, the old Defiant vs Whitestar debate kinda died for the fact that MOST people favor the Defiant now. So its not the clear cut never been settled debate it used to.

For those going on about reg dates, DarkStar registered before me. Do I need to respect him?
And given that he tripple posted, Lard wossname's high count is now explained.

Okay, basically this guy is demanding respect and now he begins TRIPLE POSTING to further inflate his count without making reasonable points. He also repeatedly offers respect to DW, when one post could have easily done it. I'm deleting the second and third posts, but the worship of DW will remain.

Notices how Mike mentioned DarkStar, and he mentions Mike. Coindence? Probably not. This thread is off topic it should be closed or sent elsewhere for bashing.

Here's a hint: if all you do is ask people to help you solve your problems or answer your questions, you will be less popular than if you try to help others solve their problems or answer their questions.
Nice rebuke. I admire your skills. I, however, am merely asking for some advice. It's my 4th hour on this board, and I have only asked one thing of you people. I try to help people when i can, but if I have no knowledge of how to help the first place, what can I do?
One thing asked, and already people are calling me stuff.
It's a sad world.
Im reforming.
Sorry.
Instead of posting your own topics first, try reading and participating in other topics instead. Posting a thread when you start about "what the hell can I do" will only get you in trouble(obviously). What you can do is read and contribute to others disscussions and once you get a handle of what the hell is going on, start your own thread about whatever.
They say, "the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots." I suppose it never occurred to them that they are the tyrants, not the patriots. Those weapons are not being used to fight some kind of tyranny; they are bringing them to an event where people are getting together to talk. -Mike Wong
But as far as board culture in general, I do think that young male overaggression is a contributing factor to the general atmosphere of hostility. It's not SOS and the Mess throwing hand grenades all over the forum- Red

They were judging you on your content, then making fun of you on you post count.

This thread has derailed badly. Shouldn't we lock this already?

I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season."
