Well, I've already commented on the newbie stuff in the blog and in this thread. You know how I feel about it, but if I honestly thought RAF was about to turn n00b-vicious, I'd not be leaving. I'd be right here trying to snap the other members outta' their funk and showing them just how dumb they were being.

It's 'cause I love you people.  :)

If my friend sits at a lunch table, I sit with her. If she goes to a cinema, I go with her. If she cries, perhaps I cry with her, and then I go find the s.o.b. who made her cry, and I give him a reason to cry. If my friend jumps off a bridge, I cut the bungee chord so that she knows not to do that stupid self-destructive sh**.

That's sorta' how I feel about RAF. I love this place to the extent that I'd rather hurt you REALLY badly than watch you destroy yourself, and God help the fool that hurts you before I do. ;D

Thanks, Goom-la!

Anyway... I believe I've queried before... why is the thread still open, when the subject is closed? Sorry to nag, but methinks this will bring nought but more arguments if we leave it up. :P

"I always considered myself a loner. I mean, not like a poor-me, Byron-esque, I-should-have-broughta-swimming-buddy loner. I mean the sort of person who doesn’t feel too upset about the prospect of a weekend spent seeing no one, and reading good books on the couch. It wasn’t like I was a people hater or anything. I enjoyed activities and the company of friends. But they were a side dish. I always thought I would also be happy without them."

Well...how would you feel if you just found out that there's a secret part of the forum that's only open to people who've been here for 2 or more years for example, and you were shut out?

i feel like i would want to be part of that group  ;)

So sorry to get you into writing. What a horrible thing to inflict on you. Should have just sold you crack.

No, I wait until she's close enough to a landing that she'll break a few dozen bones, but I keep her from doing something so dumb ever again.

Yes, it's twisted logic.
