[QUOTE="ez bake, post: 2204527, member: 229"] For all intents and purposes since we're a state-local internet forum, the term Noob is pretty much "stranger" to most of us here (in the literal sense since a lot of us meet up in the real world and not just online). I don't treat noobs with disrespect anymore than I do strangers but I also don't necessarily dive into complete trust of total strangers until they've proven themselves to be trustworthy. There are people who have been long-time members who aren't exactly trustworthy, but I know who they are because I've seen/heard their actions and feedback. The new guys are all unknown so they have to build that trust just like they would with any interaction with a new group of folks. It isn't rocket-surgery and I honestly don't get what all the fuss is about (RDF just misunderstood the rules and it seems to have ignited a lot of pinned up animosity among noobs). At the same time, I've never preached "don't trust the noobs" and I feel like everybody deserves a chance but again - this isn't just randomly talking to folks out in public - we're on an internet forum and everyone signed up and agreed to follow the rules of this forum when they registered their ID. I don't understand why there's all this whining about the rules, just like I don't understand why there's all this noob-bashing. [/QUOTE]
