Perhaps, but I think you're wearing some heavy duty rose colored glasses there,my friend.

But yes, the old timers SHOULD be the bridge between chaos and sanity.WE know what no newbie does; the for real history of FR,its ins and outs,the slang, special insider jokes, and we should calm the turbulent and muddy waters. Some of us try to do just that and help newbies to become part of the fold; but some newbies don't want any help...usually the ones who need it most.

Ya, but it's what we get paid for. We must do our duty...there are higher callings than being the most popular poster on FR.

Hey, I resemble that remark(newbie) :)

And I admit that a lot of discord has taken place lately, but I did not realize that some were comparing Terri schiavo to Christ. I DID see the posts blaming Jeb and W, and some about "never forgiving them" I even got caught up a little bit, then, got guided back to sanity by you. No, I do not want to see the old timers leave, as I said on the other post about the other old timer leaving. the veterans here are needed to keep things in check.

However, it looks like some are STILL bent on keeping the discord going, no matter what I,You, or anyone else try to recommend. Shame. As you said, this is what makes DU laugh at us, and nobody wants that!

This is a good site, where we can all benefit from each other's wisdom. We newbies need you oldsters to help keep things that way.

WE know what no newbie does . . . <<<<

WE know . . .

What ain't worth knowin'.

What was DFU's absolutely WORST "parody?"

What was the tar baby's middle name?

Was "Knock it off" plagiarized?

Here's hoping you do what you espouse.
