Thanks Supa. See, the difference in this ENTIRE thread is that I know when a member here is giving me a hard time and I can roll with it.
This is because I know how members post. When you called me a "bully" I knew it was meant as "tongue and cheek".
Honestly MelMWells, I hope you don't leave. I hope that you can just understand what we older members are like and just roll with it. Who knows, someday you and I might be friends. :love

So, you are willing to label the ENTIRE forum as a cruel place because one person hit you with sarcasm and newbie poking? That's mature. Generalize the majority because of the minority.
Most humor is at the expense of others. Polish jokes? Ever heard them? Some of the best comedians are those who shine the light on the silliness of those around them. Tell me a funny yarn that is not at someone else's expense. Just one.
I have to agree with Nwerke in that the level of over-reaction was epic.

There isn't any point in just quitting. I know you must feel that is the solution, but just set it and forget it. This is an occurrence in my opinion it's kind of like fighting with the in laws. (It happens) You can't just say thats it I am done (well I guess you could say it)
, but would it be true? Don't quit just because your feelings got hurt. Tomorrows a brand new day. I too think that you may have slightly overreacted, but just in how angry you got. I think that you have a valid reason for being a little upset, but not lets burn it down angry.I too have been angry at people on this forum more than once. Probably as angry as you are now or maybe even angrier, but I haven't quit yet.
Yep don't leave, i for one found your original link great as i honestly didn't know that image exsisted.
if you felt bullied (which i for one didn't interpret Brad's post in that way at all) then i can understand your reaction and wanting to leave, however i think this has been blown out of all proportion and you should really consider sticking around.
In the future take it on the chin and give a little back ive heard "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned" soon enough all this will be forgotten and you will look back and laugh

You see, this is inflexible and melodramatic.
Stick around. Unwind a bit. It's give and take and it is not unfriendly. Having the corners knocked off is good for you. Character-building.
I support your decision to leave.
You seem to see every challenge as a mean spirited attack.
The problem is your perception, not our actions.
Regurgitating the internet will win you no friends here.
So leave, then come back when you've taken a long look at your own actions.
Reading malice into this post? Whos problem is that?

Jeezuusss.. You guys were a little brutal.
I agree that she needed a sense of humor, and should have rolled with the punches.
And I don't think anyone was out to hurt anyone..
But a little lube wouldn't have hurt any of you!
Reading this thread was like watching a car crash..
yikes!

MelMWells,
I feel you should stick around and not leave. I've been attacked here by certain members too but I just "consider the source" from some of the overbearing nerds on here. There's alot of nice and interesting guys here and as far as Brad ....he isn't an evil person.....hes just...well...hes just Brad. :lol . I hope this little incident won't taint whatever interests you have. You'll find alot of good info here. If you don't want to post then lurk in the background like some do...leaving solves nothing. BTW...if you feel a need to retaliate at Brad then you need to learn what bugs them.... send his kids some Star Trek DVDs and action figures......that will freak him out. :lol

I just got back from lunch with the missus, which I've been doing every Thursday for the last two years, parking at the same downtown parking structure at Fifth and Mission:
See where it says "enter here" off to the right? That's where you drive in. There's a little trick to coming up in back from the north and turning right into the entry; I say a little trick because the timing of the lights and the pedestrians make it a bit of a challenge if you've never done it before or are a new or timid driver or whatever. but I could do it blindfolded and drive up and park in roughly the same spot I always do on the fourth floor because I've done it nearly a hundred times in the last two years and often park there when downtown for another fifteen before that.
It's my parking place, downtown.
But today, there wasn't just one car ahead of me at the right turn onto Mission; there were two. And I don't know whose fault it was, but that first car must have been a new driver, or particularly timid, or something, because we sat there the whole green light without moving and about ten seconds into the next one in the cycle before the guy behind him and me and the guy behind me all started honking our horns, expressing our annoyance and dissatisfaction with the first driver who was holding up progress and just generally bringing down the free flow of traffic for whatever reason. They were gumming up the works.
Now, I'm sure this driver was duly licensed and excellent on his home turf and whatnot, but he was causing trouble for those of us who were familiar with the little trick of getting around the corner smoothly and shooting into the garage. So we honked.
If that driver had got out of the car and tried to explain to us that we were rude by honking and that he had a perfectly good reason to stay there frozen like a deer in headlights he would have been murdered and his car flipped onto the sidewalk by an angry mob so we could all go about our days.
And that's all that happened here. Mel got a courtesy honk for driving poorly, and she and everyone who thought the honkers were rude freaked right out.
All I can say is I hope you ****ing ****ers are never behind the wheel in front of me when I honk at you to get out of my way when you're driving like an idiot, such is my fervent wish.

I may be not be tactful, nice, or polite...BUT I am entertaining.
After reading through this entire thread my biggest offense is with the typos in Brad's signature.
Also, I love it when people repeatedly post, "This is my last post."

Mel, we are a raucous bunch here. Roll with the punches.
Fyfe can be a bit of a buttmonkey. But he's ours. N we love him.
Larry. That analogy was frakkin beautiful! Did you make that story up? Or did that just happen to occur out of coincidence? If it was real, did it happen before or after you saw this thread?

Naw, it just happened when I went to lunch and this thread (and that 19 pager from last week) was on my mind. The missus was telling me a story about a work challenge she had similar to this noob drama we have here, where entitled kids half her age were telling her what they thought about her area of expertise, making such noob mistakes that co-workers were just ignoring them... that it made me realize this noob thing is going on in all strata: work, entertainment, social media DANG! And that jerk right ahead of me in line at the garage! :lol
Can the mods PLEASE make this my new title?
