ChiefsPlanet New Posters, Lurkers and Noobs...Front and Center. - Page 39

I'm Iowanian and I'll be your tour guide today Please remain seated at all times while the Tram is moving, and as always, thankyou for visiting Chiefsplanet.....[/nasal crackled speaker recited speach voice]

This issue has been coming up in several recent conversations....that new posters and those who don't post often, don't feel welcome, or comfortable to make comment. The Offseason, when its slow, is as good a time as any, to wade into the pool.

Let me say, that prior to joining the planet(a new start) I was very uncomfortable posting at the star.....because "these internet people seem to know each other". I sort of felt like I was interupting someones conversation at a cafe or something. It took "the mike keck incident" to make me just do the cannonball into the pool. I wasn't comfortable until I had an oportunity for a fresh start, when chiefsplanet came online....and it took awhile after that.

Every poster has a story and a personality. Those who have been here a long time, probably know enough about each other's lives to scare the shit out of all of us....just from accumulation of tidbits through the years.

This is your Oportunity to step forward. Introduce yourself. This is a safe place. Let us get to know you, and if anyone is a prick for no reason on this thread, I'll stick my thumb in their Router.

Enjoy this comlimentary coupon for all newer posters for 1 free oportunity, after reading Iowani-commentary for years-months-weeks to sign the fan book, or tell me I'm an ________________.

Welcome.

It's hate by association, Skip is really a kind gentle elderly fellow. he really is.

yeah, even though I don't post that much anymore, I still read the board everyday. I cringe when I see his interaction with you and that probably is the reason I feel dirty when I agree with his opinion, more that what his actual opinion is. GC can 99/100 times back up his position without resorting to crap.

Man, I don't know. That's pretty lame. I probably would've neg repped you for that too.

I'm trying to understand why Skip is so hateful.

did you let the folks on here know you were being silly?

people, including Skip, are fairly tolerant when they know you are being a twit on purpose.

If you posted it exactly as you have here, I wouldn't have neg rep'd you but I would have probably threw up a little in my mouth. No indication if you were being silly or not. Even if you believe what you posted, post it with a little humility and sense that half this board is going to disagree with you.

Look at my rep, that is my M.O.

People know I'm a twit / ass.

OF COURSE it's lame and stupid and silly. And if someone reads that, takes it seriously, and gets MAD?? Holy cow.

I've agreed with him on stuff too, but that tends to get overlooked. I think he's smart. He just needs to grow up.

Generally, I'll use stats or facts to backup my position on things. And if there's none of that in my post, then naturally, I'm just pulling dicks.

It's his schtick. Consider yourself going through a hazing of sorts. How you do will depend upon how long it lasts. Skip is Skip. I don't think there's any defining or explaining him.

He's a hateful person. I've already figured it out.

that's his schtick. ENDelt is the drunken frat boy. luv is the token girl we all want to take home, Iowanian is the smart ass, Phobia is, well I don't know what he is, Pastor Mic is the voice of reason, I'm the dumbass that hates to post about football and disappears months at a time, llamajr. is the kid that spouts what he thinks without realizing how stupid he sounds, LVNHack is the dude we all miss, and Skip is our old dude yelling at people to get off his lawn.

we all have a niche on here, find yours and it's your home for life.
