Right, like you were ever the one to be mean straight away to newcomers Smile

Yeah, Stimbo. Sorry but you are no thug. I think a new person should have to earn a good dressing down. Hate to think I'm easy.

For a handful of you out there, it may be best to avoid the introduction thread when a theist says hello. Undecided


I know that for me personally, I do have difficulty keeping my disdain for certain christards to myself Confused

Ok, now what if the intro OP is rude?

I think it's suggested to avoid replying to them or to try and be nice anyway.




We killin' them with kindness?

Ok, now what if the new member takes another member hostage in their intro?

Aw, and here I was hoping to earn a reputation as an internet tough guy.

Just a guess, but I reckon a rude OP presumably falls foul of the same rules. At least I would hope so, anyway.

I think I know this one - in that case, all members named after hot or cold drinks have to have a photo taken of themselves standing in a busy street wearing nothing but socks and a comedy hat, and use it as their avatar for a period not exceeding one calendar month.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

If an intro is rude, it will be treated exactly the same as if a reply were rude. At least by me, I can't speak for the rest of the staff.

Oh good, there's at least a hat.
