Thanks for telling me what my motivation is, Sprig.

But no, I'm not. I make fun of him because I don't like his posts. You'll remember that *I* have been the one to stop people from mocking people just because they were new before. So feel free to ask me to stop, but you're wrong about why I do it. Cope.

I don't care if you mock, but there has to be some slack for those that have been around for more then a few weeks and try to follow the rules.  That's all I'm going to say here about it, if you want to discuss it more then feel free it IM me.

Ok, I'll stop. I'm more than happy to respond when people ask nicely with mutual respect, unlike some, less than dignified requests.

And e, I'd like to know what's wrong with my posts, too, if you can gather yourself enogh to talk to a newbie.

Frankly, I'm shocked. But, even more frankly, I'm always shocked.

2 things

1) I did tell you. They tend to have no worthwhile content

2) That's not stopping. Though I'm glad you've chosen to think I'm prejudiced for your own comfort.

Let me stress, though, that my feelings are about you, personally. Traditionally I have been much more accepting of newbies than most. So your charges don't stand under much scrutiny.

I encourage you not to make this personal, e. Whether or not you think The_Bot has anything valuable to say, at least he tends to follow the forum rules while saying it. "I don't like him" is not a very good reason to harrass him as heavily as you have been, even if you do have a death sentence on 12 systems.

13. Marbellius declared last night.

There's a plea that makes sense. Up till now, the accusation has been that I just don't like newbies. Which isn't true. But since someone who actually has grounds to be peacemaker has asked nicely and without false accusation, I shall try to curb my dog.

No guarantees though.

13 now? For that I'd turn you in myself.

You already tried that. So stop your meaningless threats.

By stop, I meant not threaten newbies, so I have stopped, as I haven't threatened a newbie since.

It's nice to know your dog is on a leash. ;)

SE, sometimes I wonder if it would maybe be a good idea to have a minimum age requirement for membership.

Just a thought.

You're not helping yourself much Bot.  Just drop the subject and stop feeding the lions.

Wouldn't people just give a fake age?

Yes, lightning, I was being facetious.
