I don't remember people being particularly hard on me, there was some robust banter and a bit of name calling but that is all part of the fun IMO.While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'Comment

This forum set the benchmark in being hard on newcomers back in 2009. Me and the bedwetter movement have made it what it is today.
Can we put it back again now please?Knock first as I might be balancing my chakras.Comment

Sometimes. But you'd expect someone to lurk a bit first, not post a tittish first question, and stop being a tit when the error of your ways is pointed out.

I lurked.
Used the search facility.
Asked people I knew in real life questions.
Then started posting.
I got negative reps with nasty sexist messages, including one full private message, from one particular person for about a year because I'm opinionated and female.
That person subsequently got banned repeatedly when they turned on other blokes in the open.
Other posters including the ones I've met in real life but not revealed who I am are generally nice people."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment
