Who's this patriotspride character???
 

I don't know if I'm making a big deal, but whats up with this patriotspride character? Do you guys usually ignore his dumb azz remarks or does he bring something positive to this forum? Cause, so far, he's been nothing but a wise azz to me and I haven't really done anything to him. Any comments??:confused:

I find your lack of thick skin... disturbing.

Welcome to the board. While your post count has nothing to do with your knowledge or contribution, I must ask why are you already complaining about someone and starting a new thread about it with only 9 posts? Please get some stones.:rocker:

After a little research, I have determined he doesn't like the Raiders. Oh Well.:scared:

The force is strong with this one.....

If my post count has nothing to do with it, then why bring it up? Anyways, I'm not complaining, just trying to feel my way around this forum, thats all. I guess I found out all I need to know. Thanks fellas.

Here's the thing. New Englanders are particularly reserved. Some players are wont to say they are cold, unfriendly, and unnecessarily obtuse. As a bit of warning, many posters are ridiculously territorial and possessive. Additionally, many have a sense of superiority.

The thick skin note is of particular importance if you intend to continue your contributions. You will find that ideas you have will be welcomed with the warmth of a granite slab in January only to eventually be shined upon by the August sun. Conversely, there are many, many insightful posters who have a perspective and knowledge that is truly inspiring.

This site is a bit of a frat party, with allegiances etc. Calling out someone without establishing yourself is ill-advised, regardless of the validity. That said, welcome and good luck. Bring your A-game and you'll be fine. Just expect some disappointment along the way as people will think your ideas are absurd until they echo them weeks/months later.

I've got this post saved so I can use it on the next victim. :p

:yeahthat:

Though I think that "August sun" comment is a bit optimistic. Even Ian's jurisprudence is called into question here. Let's say that, eventually, with hard work and a flair for egotistical self-advertisement, you will eventually be treated as one of the gang by the regulars, after which several lurkers will probably register just to spite you. :D Instead of "August sun" think of it as a muggy July evening, with lots of gnats.

Yes. He's the only person on my ignore list.
