[QUOTE="BigFreekinGoblinoid, post: 1208342, member: 5988"] Hey Protean! Just have fun with it and don't get caught up in worrying about other peoples perception of your posts too much. If people only posted scintillating comments, we would have some pretty bare threads around here. And some users with high post counts would have no posts at all :D My most intelligent or thoughtful posts/replies often receive no responses at all. (! that one time - oh, you missed it?) Whatever. If it makes you feel good to share your thoughts with others, by all means do so, but don't expect external verification, for you are sure to be dissapointed. Many threads ask for ( directly or implied )opinions. Don't be afraid to post yours - it all makes for interesting reading. And you just might make a friend or two. edit: You can always walk away from someone who flames you, if that ever happens - never respond in anger if you get worked up. Take a few minutes off before composing that reply and see if your perspective has changed. Usually it gives you a chance to let go of the ego a bit. This is usually pretty trivial stuff we discuss here. second edit: Your spelling will ocassionally be made fun of, especially if you are too lazy (like me ) to use the spell checker :o [/QUOTE]
