I think we got off to a bad start when I posted that thing about nun porn...

Maybe I should start a bit more blandly. Hi, I'm aaron! Nice to meet you all.

Nun porn? I'm lost.

Umm... Welcome! [Wave]

Posted by Joldo (Member # 6991) on :

Leave. Please. I'm asking you please not to pull all your crap over here. You're a troll and a spammer in Young Writer's, and I've always regarded this as more of a safe haven. Unless you're planning to grow up, just please.

Apparently I've missed something big. What thread is this referring to?

Posted by Megan (Member # 5290) on :

The thread was deleted.

Posted by MidnightBlue (Member # 6146) on :

Oh.

Posted by James Tiberius Kirk (Member # 2832) on :

Yeah... I'd assume that nun porn is typically frowned upon.

/is completly lost as well.

nun porn? Oh brother..... One of those jokes huh?

Posted by Joldo (Member # 6991) on :

It gets worse. It gets much worse. Dubious links included.

Any newbie can make a mistake in their exuberance...

Great.

Aaron, word of advice. Read some threads, get a feel for our general tone over here, and be nice. No one minds opposing opinions, or discussing things (to a certain point - links to porn sites are not good here), but we do mind rude, obnoxious behavior. I haven't seen what they're talking about, and I'm glad I haven't, but if it's as bad as what they're saying, then please, learn to post politely and leave the crap elsewhere. And there are people of all ages here, so whatever is posted should be suitable for all viewers.

Posted by Joldo (Member # 6991) on :

It's hardly an exuberant mistake. He's been posting three years or so on Young Writers, and the past year and a half it's spam and trollish. With delight at those who get mad or pull out their hair.

Posted by sexy_aaron (Member # 7312) on :

I think there is a lot of hatin' goin' on right hure.

Joldo is obviously very touchy, but I don't post to be a spammer, troller, or generally unpleasant. I post to, you know, be funny, spread a bit of joy, etc. [Party]

quidscribis, thanks for the kind words. I've been reading posts for a bit - lost, though I may be. Still, I'll be accepting of your posting style if you're accepting of mine.

Posted by Joldo (Member # 6991) on :

I apologize if I am mistaken, though the nun porn makes me doubt it.

If I am not, you and I both know what I mean. I remember you used to be just under Ae in scale of general wow-ness on YW. I'd welcome that Aaron, though I'd curse the one posting in YW now.

"I post to, you know, be funny, spread a bit of joy, etc."

As long as you understand that you don't get to be the one who decides what's funny, or determines what "joy" means -- at least within this context -- we'll get along fine. [Smile]

Posted by Lost Ashes (Member # 6745) on :

But hey, if you offend people or troll, a lot of folks will come down hard on you for a bit... it's kind of a sport around here.

And then, you'll simply be forgotten and ignored. Trust me, they've forgotten and ignored some of the greatest, hounded some of the most persisten, and left the others in a very cold and lonely place.

So, place nice and others will play with you.

Act a fool just to get a rise and well, you'll be playing with your rise all by your self... understand?

In other words, Hatrack is a lot like a Russian novel, long, painful, but you always feel smarter when you read it.

I'm living in a cold enough place already. i'd hateit to get colder.

Posted by HollowEarth (Member # 2586) on :

Anybody see those "Nuns having fun" calenders? They're pretty funny.

Posted by Telperion the Silver (Member # 6074) on :

Here's looking on the hopeful side...

Welcome Aaron! [Smile]
