Welcome newcomers, but....
« on: December 23, 2006, 12:37:58 AM » |

Hopefully dystopia will forgive me, as this is his site and he's really the one who dictates rules of conduct, etc.
I would like to welcome any newcomers who discover this place by the door being left open over at the "other place," however I'd also like to offer a caveat. This is a friendly forum. If you come out of bad blood created "over there" and are simply here to stir the pot, feel free to find yourself the door out.
If you're prone to bitching about chess threads on a golf forum, cryptic thread titles that contain random links with no explanation, or anything else like that, there's a place you can go where your complaining will get results.
If you come in peace and wish to be a friendly contributer, by all means welcome.

Well put, spaceage, you put it far better than I could have. I hate to do this, but I have to run to an 8am tee time, but I'll be back after lunch. |

I come and will go, shortly, in Peace. My comments weren't specifically directed towards you. Speaking for myself, I'm perfectly happy for you to stick around. I've personally never had any problem with you, and have frequently enjoyed your posts. I always assumed the verbal sparring between you and Aske was mostly tongue in cheek and that underneath it all you guys were really okay with each other (perhaps I was wrong  ). My real worry is that with a direct link posted in the Clubhouse at FGI (a site which arguably holds more bad will than good for our good friend Aske) that there are those who will come here with solely ill intent. We don't need that. |
