"The Cellar is like an electronic tavern. Behave as you might at a real-life tavern. Don't barge in and interrupt every table in the place. Walk in and sit down, wait for something you know about and politely put in your two cents.

Whether you care to stick around will probably depend on whether you're taken seriously. Your reputation here is not made by whether you're "in the clique" or how cool you are or etc. It's only based on how you behave and what you contribute. Be a thoughtful version of yourself. Make an effort to leave it a better place than when you arrived and we all win."

This is a very informative and well-thought out policy, one which I took careful note of before joining.

I only wish it were true . . .

well, I personally haven't found it to be too true.

The people here seem to like you better here if you ARE an asshat. Unfortunately asshat isn't my normal mode. There are other uncomplimentary phrases to describe me, but that isn't one of them.

If so, I'd really appreciate you taking the time to refute my points as I did for Jebo.

I guess, the point that the "clique" supports and sticks together, whether or not it is legit or not. Not saying you're refute wasn't legit, but you know. LJ said "YOU KICK ASS SUNDAE GIRL" but rearranged wording I believe.

P.S. I don't want to refute your points. I'm not good at drawing conclusive evidence, remembering my "show" with ducky? It got so that reason < emotion, which is why LJ can make me look like an ass.

flint, THIS is how you get everyone talking about you. come sit at the feet of the master. i accomplished this in my spare time while at work, too.

HungLikeJesus · 06-11-2007, 05:24 PM

Jeboduuza -- I'm relatively new here myself, but here is one thing that I noticed very quickly: the most active posters (except for one or two) on this site generally have good spelling, proper grammar (including capitalization), and are good at expressing themselves. Using poor spelling or grammar in the Cellar is like moving to Sandford and painting graffiti on the church wall.

All the people that I've encountered here are respectful, but you have to earn it.

Edit: I just noticed that I said "All the people..." That might be a little optimistic.

Have you considered

LJ is deliberately overstating to stir things up

I was a newbie once myself. The fact I get on with LJ despite joining well after him shows it's not an Old Dwellars Club.

You might have had people disagree with you, but you have posted intelligently, you have started your own threads instead of trashing established ones, you write proper English - can't you see that the issues I (and perhaps other people have) with J are not the same as people may have with you?

I respect you as a poster. I have issue with what you post on a regular basis - but then I had an issue with 9thEngineer's views - he's mostly absent now and I miss him. If I wanted to hear from people with the same background/ education/ political views as me I'd post on a British board based in my home town. But guess what, half the posts would be "Hey hav u sin X he is so dam fitt OMG u goin up Weavers this Sat?"

I'm here for intelligence, humour and above all a sense of community. If that means sometimes people get told, "We don't do it like that here" or "Post intelligently or fuck off" then I can live with that. It doesn't make this place a WASP Country Club.

You're an intelligent man. You're part of the community. I don't understand why you think this is a vendetta and not a community showing people the ropes.

Cloud I include you in that too (apart from the man comment)

Cloud, you've referred several times now to not feeling welcome or not feeling like you belong. I honestly don't know where this comes from, I think you're well-liked and appreciated around here. Shawnee123 did the same thing for a long time after she joined too, feeling like she was ignored when she really wasn't. It's possible you don't get along with a few members, but that's to be expected--if everything were sunshine and skittles all the time, it really would be a homogenous clique.
