Well, then.
Boricua; unfortunately and fortunately, this is the way it has really always been. I don't mean to re-quote (can't remember who said it first...).
I've been flamed, torched, beaten, etc. when I first came here, but I loved the game and editing aspect so much, that I stayed, and eventually, this freakish crew became my online family: first and foremost.
It's hard to explain sometimes, but everyone's a jerk, and everyone's a peach. Truth, no matter how truthful it is, is sometimes not welcomed here. *Constructive* criticism is. (By constructive, I mean "severe"...)
The most of us are nut-job computer-geek elitists who prefer 'relevancy' over anything else in threads, and we aren't very forgiving most of the time.
I will probably get flamed for posting this (hopefully not) with comments such as; "sp3ak 4 uRs3lFf!!111!1", but I don't let it bother me. It's the internet. I do the same thing with my family. :p
Boricua, please stay. I assure you, you'll get accustomed to it, and you'll soon find why we have stayed so long.
