A preview of things to come?

Sorry for starting this whole thing, actually... I realized I was the one who insulted them first - I just didn't do it to their face

The fact does still remain that if anybody goes around posting like the examples provided earlier, they simply won't be welcomed here until they use a more civilized approach.

New people will fit right in if they can keep their post quality up to the standards we have set over the last half decade here.

All the posts here pretty much say the same thing, only put into different words. (Same thing, only different) If you maintain high standards (not elitist), you will attract decent people to this site. Wether they come here to find out about SE, Shrapnel Games or to post a question or just a thought, AND like SJ says if they aren't happy here they will move on.
All I can say is that everyone posting on this thread is very interested in keeping this site an open and friendly forum for themselves and other. You can't hold that against anyone in trying to keep something good alive. Sometimes a thread like this should remind us all of what is here (as compared to the OTHER) and to appreciate that!!!
