Hey, I haven't yet called you an asshole. I haven't even been mean. And my "mean" can be withering, just ask anybody here.

I did notice that (the collective) you were quite active in my brief absence; terrific. And I did not and do not want to get into a pissing match with you. That's not why I'm here, and as much (not so much) as I speak "for the cellar", it's not why we're all here.
But, dayum, man. You're new here, y'know? You *just might* be all that
and a bag of chips. But. You started off on the wrong foot. That might have been your good foot, but it's ... just not appropriate. Do you wear your crampons on the dance floor? It was kind of like that. And it's not even your dance floor (yet). You're so new. At least Flint has a year on you and I'm a pup compared to some of the methuselahs still posting.
And **all** we have to go on, really, are your posts. They were combative, not constructive. They were rude, not respectful. They were ignorant, not insightful. We responded to that. Maybe you are an asshole, maybe not. I reserve judgment; time and your posts will tell. If you stick around.
And if you do stick around, and I hope you do, you will learn that the cellar is the most stable, most genuine meritocracy you will ever be a part of. I guarantee it, or I will personally refund double your money back.
