@lumberjim: So when I was criticized, as a new arrival, for not making substantive enough posts, it was actually a ploy to get me to share something real just so you could make fun of it? Oh, yes, this is a very mature and dignified society here, much more advanced than all those other "chatroom style" boards out there.

This really gets to the crux of your "fit in or F off" argument, doesn't it? You don't want people to actually be themselves, you want them to fall lockstep into your pre-specified style of clique-ish posting: not too light, but not too heavy either. Truly, the goal of quite a few people here seems to be specifically what I refer to in this thread, to repel diversity and maintain a homogeneous status quo - based on the argument that it has been sustainable for X number of years. Guess what folks - it takes all kinds. Variety is good.

I am disturbed by the pleasure some of you take in attempting to drive away newcomers. You might want to consider joining the KKK.
