Oh, for Lord's sake...

Wintermute, normally we are a symbiotic communty. We respect and help other Aspies, and in turn are respected and helped. The amniosity that has been displayed towards you is sprung from a dislike of people who would want to disrupt this mutual cycle - namely, spammers, trolls, hackers, etc., and from the assumption that you're actions by telling people how it is on WP when you've only posted five times makes you a [fill in the blank] that has returned after being banned. This was wrong of them, and they need to apologise. Please don't assume that we are hostile towards newbies - that is not how we roll on WP. I hope the acts of the few have not made an impression of the many in your mind. I am sure you will be a great contribution to the community.

As for the rest of you, I'M STILL WAITING FOR AN APOLOGY.

Roxas

I was joking with xon in my last post. i wondering if he knows what XANA is, it has something to do with what he posted.

As for the post before that, i was simply saying that we hope that you don't leave becuse of what some people said to you. You are welcome here, RIGHT PEOPLE? *gives evil stare to others*

Ah, I see. I am aware of the spammer problem, and, to be honest, the only way I can truly prove to you that I am not a troll, is if you find out my IP address, and even then you are stuck with going down a long list of people...


I disgress, I cannot see any way of proving my idenity to you.

Someone set up an AYB opportunity and I just had to take it... :roll:. I certainly don't think Wintermute is a troll, or spammer or anything, though it was a rather odd post.
Welcome by the way,

Wintermute is fine. I have spoken to them on msn and they are most certainly not a troll, but a decent, intelligent person from what I can ascertain. I would suggest stopping the ridiculous paranoia and false assumptions just because someone did something a little unexpected. It is unfair to Wintermute who has simply come here to learn more about AS.

It's okay to talk to people, but we shouldn't talk about people. Concerns about other members should be expressed privately to mods or admins.

Thank you, Graelwyn, for your flatterly.


MrMark: Thank you for your advice, but I was just trying to get round an assumption that I myself had made.

Wintermute, huh?

Did you ever get run out of a binary town by an angry international mob, by any chance?
