Damn kiddies... Regretfully, the vast majority of posters I have envountered in this age range are morons...
Well that means it's my job to prove that wrong
Yah, but sadly so far you've given more proof to his statements then anyone else.

Straha should be making a poll on this shortly.
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

You're not taking into account the possibility that he might be around 20, but has been held back a few too many years.
Dude, I'm 15 years old not twenty. That's a five year difference!
PS:this thread should have died. Tell me now why it is still unlocked!
I got it!
You're WIlliam Shatner!
That's the only possible explanation for your inflated ego. It must be.
Come on...
Please?

Because the moderators, to whom your opinions don't matter in the slightest, have decided not to close it. Considering this is likely the first thread of yours which hasn't been locked, you ought to be happy.
Any city gets what it admires, will pay for, and, ultimately, deserves…We want and deserve tin-can architecture in a tinhorn culture. And we will probably be judged not by the monuments we build but by those we have destroyed.--Ada Louise Huxtable, "Farewell to Penn Station", New York Times editorial, 30 October 1963 X-Ray Blues

Now that was rough. Amusing and probably brutaly accurate, but still rough.
That being said, that last sentence should be forever shrined as an Insult in the FUQ. How often do you get to work in a line like that?

Quite announcing your intentions and just do it if you want. How can we know if we want you to write a fanfic if you've never written one?
Get an original thought ( and I don't just mean for a fanfic) and express it. Otherwise you're nothing but a me-tooer looking for something to agree with.
Maybe it would be best if this thread was locked. Hopefully by now Trekdestroyer has learned to tread more carefully about what he posts when he's a new guy. Of course, everyone should think through what they post before hand, but the new guys with less than 50 posts to their name should be especially vigiliant.
No sense in beating a dead horse, is all I'm saying. And while I am not a moderator, I do think that this beatdownfest has gone on long enough.
"The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles."
