Sounds like someone has no manners.

It's simple...if you all you can think of saying, is something rude...criticizing someone...basically telling someone they are stupid. THEN DON'T SAY IT.

For those who can't help themselves but to have the first thing they type be critical of someone else, you decrease the utility of the forum for everyone, as you make folks feel like they are going to be jumped/flamed if there is ANYTHING about what they want to post that might be wrong.

We ALL come here to learn...to socialize...and when the first thing someone types is a criticism of another member, it TEARS DOWN the forum, instead of building it up.

Do you need a towel to help wipe up the tears? Grow up, this isn't day care, nor am I or anyone else obligated to coddle. If you think nobody should speak unless they agree with you and are going to say nice things, the internet is not the place for you.

Definitely have to have a pretty thick skin around here (around any forum). Some do, many don't.

We do try to encourage the use of the search function for previously addressed topics. I believe that here have only been about 6 different questions asked on this forum since its inception - but they've each been asked 600 times.
