No I don't feel responsible for the content of the boards, I barely feel responsible for the content of my posts. I'm probably one of the douchebags you're referring to, and I don't really make any appologies for it. When I'm in a crappy mood it shows in my posts, likewise when I'm in a good mood it shows. As far as the regulars, etc. I do look at when somebody joined now and then, but it doesn't really affect my opinion of them. That is based on their posts. For example, there's one well dressed young man on here who has a very dry wit, when I saw his first few posts, I thought he was a dickwad. Over the next few weeks and reading his subsequent posts, I have come to appreciate his humour and respect his intelligence and insight. So my opinions of posters vary over time as well, some for the better, and some for the worse. Down in P&R there are a couple of right wingers I really like, even though we disagree on 99.999999% of everything. Again, its based on their posting style and content, and their ability to take a joke and throw one back. As for the newbs being ganged up on, it does happen. It usually happens when they post something stupid, but a lot of the regulars get away with doing the same thing. I know, I've posted more than my fair share of stupid shit, and rarely get really taken to task for it. I don't know why this is, maybe its just my winning personality, or my wonderful blue shirt. I am guilty of trashing a newb now and then myself, sometimes you just can't resist, sometimes thay are just begging for it. And conversly, sometimes I'll come to the defense of some moron...there's no rhyme or reason to it, it depends on my mood (or maybe it depends on what the voices tell me to do [;)]) well I'm rambling now...that's usually a sign that you don't really have anything to say, so I'll shut up now.
