Hello: I'm new . . .
August 3, 2014 at 7:55 pm
. . . . and sadly do not expect to stay long. I think this may be the same type of deal as the other forum I just left. As in, I expect nothing but potentially insulting things to come my way and no real help to understand the elements of science/philosophy that I have trouble with still (I keep hearing "google it" when I would like, and ask for, valid source materials). But I also seem to have trouble letting go of my attachment to humanity. Silly me. I say this because the other forum, like this one, is no haven for free thinkers as I was hoping for. I say this, because there are plenty of religious people here, which means there is a large, potential threat (how I have always viewed all religion). So I find this, like meeting anybody new, religious or not, equally as terrifying. Just being honest. But I'm here, welcome or not. 
So, um, hi.

Ummm what?
"I expect nothing but potentially insulting things to come my way"
I don't see the point in joining a forum at all if these are the types of expectations you have. I don't know if you realize, I will assume you're young, but if you insult people with your very first post you're not likely to be received well so...let's start over.
Hi I am Losty, this forum is my sanctuary the people here are mostly good people. Being the internet you're likely to see things like rudeness and insults, but mostly this place is full of love and support. I am glad you joined and I really hope you end up realizing that you were wrong about us and decide to stay.
Make yourself at home, I'm out of cookies today so I baked you some cinnamon rolls.

What?

You are not going to find a better bunch of free thinkers than this site.
Guaranteed! Of course it depends on which reality you live in!

Well, welcome aboard, I think...
You'll find a few christer nutjobs floating around here, but they by no means run the show.
Nor have I seen the regulars around here be less than helpful with people who honestly want to learn.

What? So you start by giving me just what I expected, then insult me, then insult my age and intellect. . . right, so, this was a bad idea then. Bye.

I've heard of thin skin, bit dayum.
If you consider Losty insulting, you should never leave the house.

I guess I was being rude by assuming that you're young, I apologize for that. I still wish you a warm welcome. It's hard to be nice if you don't give us the chance. I just want to be friends that's all

I don't get why you'd rag on the forum in your very first post and then complain when people are not welcoming. You're making out like you already know this forum isn't for you, which begs the question, why join at all?
Well, for what it's worth, I hope you find this place better than wherever you came from.
