"Pay Your Dues"!
"Nasty,Spiteful,Unkind"? Had you been here 2 or 3 years ago,"Maybe"!
Ken even started the "DR Debates" Forum,so people could "Dabate",without personal insults!
Let me give you an "Example" since you can't seem to get the point here.
You have just got a new job.You don't know any of your co-workers,and have little,or no, real experience in the field.
On your first day at work,you come in and start telling everyone how things should be done.Making comments about people and company "Traditions" that you know nothing about!You are trying "Too Hard" to make a good impression!You want to be "One of the Gang" without being "Initiated"!You jump into every conversation without anything to say.
"Usually" new posters who Join DR1,and then try too hard to reach 500 posts are missing the point here! Think of it as a Big tub of really hot water,"Ease In",get used to the water,you will feel comfortable soon enough.And you won't splash too much water on those who are already "In The Tub"!
There are lots of "Bullshit" detectors here,try not to set them all off!
