Hi all,
tonight I decided to pay the Community Spirit boards a visit for the first time ever.
I have found myself confronted with numerous religious threads.
Is this normal for the CS boards?
I would like to know because I have much better things to do with my time.
cheers

Hi dixo, thanks for the kind welcome, and thanks for the offer of a dress, but I found a pic of a pair of kitty's that I used to use as a msn avi.

I'm still not a steady here..... Yet!Hi jet, nice to meet you.
I've had plenty of American friends through the years. They weren't ALL bad.
I never expected to have the red carpet rolled out for me either. I took the initial 'icy' welcome I got on the chin & I replied politely & in good humour.
Since then, it has become very apparent to me that 'someone' has decided to take their frustration out on me for their having been called to task by others on here for the manner in which they apparently regard & treat newcomers to these boards, which I point out was hardly my doing/fault.
But that's fine with me I don't mind a bit of 'friendly banter' whatsoever, but if anyone thinks I'm going to lay down and take a kicking just because they feel like venting their angst by bullying the first 'noob' they see... well they best be prepared to get a good kicking directed right back at them.
Do get over yourself, won't you? You come here shooting from the hip calling threads here carp, posters bigots and zealots, and ir it ddn't change to suit you, you'd take yourself off because you have "better things to do".
Then you wonder why you got a frosty reception.
Well guess what? I had to go through my initiation here and take my lumps like everyone else, and I'm still here, still taking my lumps even though I also have "better things to do".
I guess I just keep banging my head against that brick wall, because every time I stop, it hurts.
So by all means, come in and interact with us, we are the same mix of ppl with our diverse interests and opinions as you'd find anywhere. Like us or lump us, but pls stop playing that violin.

That's almost as warm as the welcome I got when I first came.

TBH I don't really remember my first post on CS.
I wouldn't have been game enough to start my own thread though.
I lurked for a while first, to get the 'vibe'
I still remember the posters who were nasty.
Two of them are still here. I also remember who was nice.
A couple of them have been hounded off here.
But I toughed it out.
And stayed, just to annoy everybody. Hahahaha

I was going to say, mission accomplished 😄 but that would be mean. Just kidding.

Well, let's face it. With my id who knows what to expect?
It took me long enough to find the Community Boards in the first place.
I know now, y'all probably thought I was just another troll
I didn't know about trolls back then. So I understand now

like it or not he was pretty much bang on the money given the endless religious and political threads and right fighters defending their stance to the bitter end...
