Ok. I would like to jump in here real quick and try to help.
First, Mulch, go introduce yourself, state how you found out about the twg, and tell everyone a little about yourself, and make sure that you mention something about how you joke around a lot... that should help some.
Second, Spriggan and e, I can understand your positions as you have been here for a while and don't know Mulch. But let us all remember that it is difficult to communicate emotion through a medium of communication that only allows written content. I understand how you could see his post as a form of trolling, but please try to also see how he could have been sarcastic and just trying to get a laugh.
Third, I am not going to take a side in this, as I can see both points, but everyone please remember that the only way to make this the premier time-wasting site in the universe is for everyone to start wasting their time here. Long time members, let's try to welcome new people through positive reinforcement, and new members, please learn the rules and try get a feel for everyone's point of view so that no one jumps to the wrong conclusion about you.
Fourth, Sprig, is there a way that we can create a sort initial entry area where potential new members are required to read the rules/FAQ and introduce themselves before they can post in any other thread. That way we will know that they have read the rules and will be put on notice and it will give everyone else the chance to introduce themselves to the new member... perhaps have the new member start a thread introducing themselves and have current members respond?
Ok... enough of me up on my soap box. Sorry for the off topic rant.
Can't wait to see the movie!
