when I first joined (several months ago), I admit, it may have been a little intimidating trying to make a place for yourself in an already established group...
so you can do what I did and photoshop someone's ass the first day or you could be someone's bitch... you decide.

Kyle, I'm pretty sure your first post was "I'm new here!"
Ike earned immediate respect with his first post. I've seen stranger things... - People who were total losers for years and then grew up and redeemed themself - People who flamed out so loud that you could hear it over the line - People who came on and took all kinds of abuse because they spoke nonsense, but stuck around anyway as if they liked it |

Man, perhaps I should have said something mean-spirited about Webscalpel. I've been insulted by many oxygen-wasters in my 2+ years here, but now, I'm feeling kinda left out.

back in business
To Ike_is_my_Cat and And:
The sort of blatent falsehoods you're rearing your heads at now are precisely the kind I found on this site concerning antibland that drove me to post my original rant. And so the world goes round.... Last edited by antibitch; 03-27-2003 at 05:23 PM. |

I think antibitch and antibland could have been a worthwhile member of the cellar. I for one would have loved to hear antibitch tear into Radar or even Cairo when she was around. Sadly though they do not seem to realize that there is more to the cellar then just a bunch of screen names bitching about the latest headlines. Since I joined I have seen numerous newbies treated like crap, some stay, some go, I've decided it's like an initiation routine here. If you can put up with the regulars for your first few posts and not make a complete fool of yourself you'll be accepted, if you run away then fine we didn't need you anyways.
Antibland came in asking for help, he shouldn't complain too much about the response, if he would have taken some time to read a few thread maybe he would have stumbled across Ciara's first post. Then if he was smart he would have rethought how he was joining this community. Instead, he just mindlessly posted. This thread is the result.

Still could be worthwhile members, Cam. Still could be. Amongst other things, we don't hold anything against strong-willed women around here.

Okay Ep...here goes...
Why did antibland have to have his woman fight his battle here? Man, what a pussy. Slang, you're just jealous. I understand. Hard not to be. |

This place is definitely a lot more "homelike", a community of real people, compared to a place like slashdot inhabited by the teeming masses (over 600,000 registered users, last time I looked). |

If my own experience is any evidence, I think it is when you piss off Radar or the Superiority Complex Formerly Known as Cairo. Once you've done that, you're part of the crowd.
There may be other minor qualifications as well...

I can see where you might find offense at the things that were posted, but I assure you that none of it was personal. How could it be? Neither of you really know us in any sense, nor we you, so you were faceless, without identity. You may think this indicates cruelty or callousness on the part of Cellar Dwellars (tm), but it doesn't. It indicates that the residents herein happily toss around crude humor, foul language and what sounds on the surface like inhumane commentary, but it is largely extreme sarcasm and carefully calculated mock cynicism that is being played for laughs. Unfortunately, your beau ended up on the receiving end this time. Wouldn't have happened if we'd been allowed to get to know him first. Jump into the pool, swim with us sharks for awhile. You'll find out that we make pretty good pets in the long run, and I seriously doubt that you'll experience another episode like our 'logo contest' and the attendant commentary. People here tend to go out of their ways to help folks once they know who they are. Misunderstandings happen, especially with a creative and somewhat edgy group like this. Pax? C'mon, jump in...it'll be fun! Besides, there are actually true jerks here as well as the good folk, and you can enjoy verbally kicking the crap out them, too!
