If people cannot handle the snarkiness and bantering, of an internet site, I really feel sorry for them. They're gonna have a hard row to hoe when it comes to facing actual life problems.

Suck it up. You can either join the dark side (we have cookies) or you can go find a cuddly place to go crawl into a fetal position and sing kum ba yah with the softer, gentler greekchatters. Either way, we don't care. People come and go. If you sitck it out, fine. If not, there will be 10 other posters like you to take your place.

Stop singing, "Pain, despair and agony on me." Post or don't post. It doesn't matter.

And, I guess, this is just the reason many have left.

DeltaAlum stated it best and no one even took a second breath.

Yes there are other sites that are nicer, kinder, and much more helpful and friendly!

Oh, you and some others would not be welcome.

No smilies her, I do not need them.

Have a good life if you can live with it!

Banned in 4 minutes flat from Happy Pony Rainbow Land, Baby!

I don't think bmburden is AlphaFrog. She (AF) knows the Spanish word for "Bat", and bmburden doesn't (or at least, if she does, she didn't use it, which doesn't make sense since she used Spanish for the other two words).

But, I think Dionysus is right. I don't think BA is bmburden.

You're right, it's not me. I don't use "yup", I use "yep". And if I make a BatShit Sockpuppet (haven't had the urge lately), "TEH" will appear in it somewhere.

Bullies are a part of life -- and it's even more true because of the anonymity of an Internet message board.

Isn't a site that is "nicer, kinder and much more helpful and friendly" where some people aren't welcome kind of an oxymoron?

I've perused that site, Tom. I know you're one of the ones who started it and all, but it's just too whitebread for me. Call me unfriendly, but I'd rather engage in real discussions where people say what they think, even if they go too far sometimes, than join a few handfuls of people over there and be happy all the time.

Besides, one of your co-founders over there threw way too much azycray around before she got banned (three times, was it?) here.

Yeah, MC's right - this doesn't make any sense at all.

Also, while the average IQ on GC is probably around 93 . . . I would guess it's around 85 on your site, Tommy. No offense, but every thread is the same, and makes me feel like I'm teaching second grade.

I'd rather be raped in prison, quite honestly.

Please, by all means then, go to the "other sites that are nicer, kinder, and much more helpful and friendly!" Don't let the door hit you on the butt on the way out. Make Another Grand Exit and be done with it. Don't continue to tease us by saying how great it is elsewhere and sticking around here.

I am not sure why you are replying to my posts in such a negative manner... I don't recall doing anything to you. ?

Is anyone else scratching their head? I'm been on here forever and thought OTWs responses were not remotely mean. Course IRL I'm way snarkier and meaner than I am on the boards.
