By the way, I agree with you about the looose-loose situation: "Go read the old threads! Don't start a new thread! But don't you DARE post in an older thread!" You can't win...
When people are new to a forum and don't know the "unspoken" rules, they don't realize any of these things. They say or do confusing things, but not out of any intention of ill will, but the reason it's a lose-lose situation is because regular posters treat such an individual as a villian doing these things intentionally to annoy them and go for the bloody snark attack, rather than giving them the benefit of the doubt, like asking them in a polite way why they restarted the thread, even better, asking them to clarify their point. (or if they can't say anything nice... JUST NOT RESPONDING TO THE FOOKING THREAD. )
Just because this one particular reviver in this specific one thread doesn't meet the general "lose-lose" pattern that was so accurately descirbed doesn't mean it never happens, by the way. ;) It does exist, sadly, in spades. And I agree wholeheartedly that it happens all too often. Tolerance and empathy for someone new and starting out gets thrown to the ditches in favor of "Look I can count forum coup by running over this newbie trying to make a first post." This is a social environement, not a library or school or Google and people come here to socialize. And certain regular posters seem to take a very ugly delight in thwarting a newcomer's attempt to socialize, to get to know others here, to run them off, shame or humiliate them, before they even have a chance to say hello.
Villains? Bloody shark attack? Ugly delight? Shame, humilation? Were you teased in school alot? Were you attacked as a newbie?
Overly dramatic, much?

Listen to me, dense one.
We all went through our ups and downs with this thread today while you were out flouncing about waiting to come in and try to stir the pot. We all worked it out. Try reading the rest of the thread instead of stopping at the ones from the peeps you hate.
I am sure you waited all day to come back here so you could have a semblance of a good night.
Now, tragically for YOU, the thread has been moved, the players all went their merry ways, except for YOU.
How fucking pathetic that you felt the need to come back and try and jump in with some witless observations.
Go back to your self righteous little corner of the world and do us all a big favor and put everyone you dislike on hide.
'k?
