Please stop, because we all have to drink the water. It's starting to leave a bad taste in my mouth.
.....
I visit these boards everyday, I'm sure several other do too. I don't post often (tho recently I have but I digress) but I read most threads here daily and I recently (past 90- 120 days) have seen new members come and go. Some trying to communicate and getting steamrolled.
I know when I was new around here I was welcomed and engaged and I understand that most people welcome folks in their own way. That's cool but when they have no point of reference or don't know how the (and I hate this word) Politics of the board operate. It could be like going to a different country and no one speaks or looks at you.
I implore those who wish to grow our base to talk to the new folks ask about them, include them. To those who are talking to other members, if you don't have a rapport with them don't joke with them as you would other board friends.
I'd like to think most could respect this :bow:
