Alphafrog, if you were the only person I saw on GC that I thought needed to hear my thoughts I would have just PMed you. I am not isolating my criticism to you, but yes, your comment in another thread did become a last straw.
And yeah, I do realize this is the exact thing that drives you veterans nuts, and you know what? I don't care. Furthermore, I hope you were talking about someone else when you were referring to AOL chatspeak, because I always try to make sure I post in complete sentences, without typos (as much as could be expected on a forum) and with correct capitalization, even.
And as far as learning atmosphere/posting style, I have something I think can be added as a search function feature. There isn't a way to look up an abbreviation on this site if the abbreviation is 3 characters or less. So I am sorry for having to ask what certain things mean sometimes.
As far as getting PMs saying that I'm nice, if I get any I would certainly not share, but that is honestly not even close to the reason I am posting. I am posting because I think that some old posters should check their self-righteous attitude at the login and learn to let something go if a newbie poster says something you find annoying because of our inexperience.
I'm not asking for GC to change for me, I'm asking whether the attitude (however long it has been around) is beneficial to the purpose of having greek chat.
