Message: <blockquote data-quote="True_Blue" data-source="post: 5342284" data-attributes="member: 49066">The original post just looks like a big way to say "hey you, dont worry your pretty little head, just listen to the people who have been here longer" or "sigh, look at that cute little guy, doesn't he understand the people who have been participating more are talking, you should really listen", both in a derogatory way.Honestly, at first I thought there was no way you were actually serious,  But the more I think about it, and reflect upon other messageboards I've seen, I really do think you are.  Its really kind of laughable in a weird way.  It really doesn't encourage new people to come to the boards either, when you are basically saying "well sure you can argue, but if the veterans are arguing against you, you would just help us out by being quiet".Now I've seen threads where a person just did not quit, no matter how many people told and showed them how they are wrong.  I can understand that gets frustrating, and sometimes it can be even quite funny.  But to create a thread like this where you are trying to suggest to newcomers that they are probably wrong if they are arguing against veterans?  I dunno, just sounds a little elitist in my eyes.  But thats just my opinion.I'll even agree with you that probably the people who have posted more about rules interactions and questions know a little more and see the interactions clearer.  They probably even post more correct answers, thats greats.  But it should be up to them to keep proving it, not they should "win" the argument because they've been here longer or post more.  Thats just... weird and crazy.  If eventually the arguing party does not understand, no matter how many people tell them they are wrong or show them, the correct response is to say "Well we've all shown the facts, and if you can't look at them and understand the working from them, than there's nothing more we can do for you", not "well I have been here longer and posted more..so you should just give up".</blockquote>
