TheCinciKid 0 Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 A few of them have invaded strat, but the respected strat posters should be able to keep them at bay. It's not nearly as bad as the infestation of general. Link to post Share on other sites
TJ_Eckleburg 0 Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 Personally I don't think it's a bad thing that there are more people coming to strategy.There's a much better defined pecking order in terms of respected posters, and that plus general tends to keep the BIG idiots out.We seem to be getting a lot more basic questions, but I don't think that's a bad thing.

Just keep the beat stories in the bad beat forum please. Link to post Share on other sites

rog 0 Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 This is the stupidest and moist innapropriate thread in strat, so congrats on being the idiot doing exactly what you're worried...dumbing down the strat sectionThere's no "us", and there's no "them". You're as much of a freeloader as anyone else here since it's a public forum provided entirely at DN's expense. The sooner the long-timers drop the air of entitlement, the sooner we can just get on with discussing poker. Link to post Share on other sites

The sooner the long-timers drop the air of entitlement, the sooner we can just get on with discussing poker. good post. i've noticed a lot of "newbies" in strat lately coming in with perfectly legitimate posts/questions/comments and getting abused unnecessarily. i've been here longer than some. i've been here shorter than some. i give better advice than some. i give... ok well we won't be ridiculous (SW!!!!)but i'm no more or less entitled to opinions than anyone, and hopefully more people become more welcoming to the "newbs."Danielp.s. moist. haha Link to post Share on other sites

dreamcrusher28 0 Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 How alone am I in rarely visiting the sections outside of strategy?I mostly read the strat sections (to learn) and general (to laugh). So no, you're not alone. Link to post Share on other sites

Yours was one of a number of posts made to insult the glut of new members. Yes, I could have been a bit more tactful, but I think you are mature enough to handle blunt criticism, so why tiptoe around it?. The joke is an inside one that is not really funny to those on the inside, and it's disparaging to those who aren't. Calling people freeloaders, and making people feel like outsiders is not very insightful commentary on what's going on. It's juvenile to be honest. I do sometimes have a short fuse, but I apologize when I'm wrong, and I dont feel that this is one of those times. Link to post Share on other sites
