[QUOTE="Elf_Ariel, post: 4307885, member: 34891"] How do you know when you're being ignored? I mean...hey, there are times when I dont really blame people for ignoring me. I try to ignore myself sometimes. It works on rare occassions. But in all, my theory, not only for ISRP, but for life is...have a thick skin. If someone ignores you, so be it. If they have no reason to ignore you, judge them in exactly the same fashion as the stranger you just smiled to that frowned as you wandered past on the street. The people here do not rule your life, nor do they rule your character's lives. Contrary to popular belief, you do not need them to have fun, and they do not need you to have fun. As for the new peoples theory. C'mon... honestly...at 15 your characters can have just as much dignity, authority and knowledge as when the player is 30, 40 or 100. If you are new to the site, and are honest about wanting to participate, you're not going to ignore people. You're expecting them to ignore you. Or slag you...which apparently a lot of us are getting good at? I dont presume to know it all...or anything at all. I've been around a while and I -still- get on better with 'newbies' than I ever will the oldies. I'm not even telling you not to slag them. If you all want to put someone, or even a general group down, feel free. But do it when you know what ears are listening, rather than flaming a community. I respect your right to an oppinion, just like I expect you to respect that right for me. But unless you can voice it in a dignified manner; I'll wish I could beat you all over the head with a stick! Where's Pou and her broom when you need her? [/QUOTE]
