I like when I gain perspective on situations on the fierce board because I know a poster. So, that said, even if someone is called Susie, they're pretty much still a Newbie. Try to be helpful and not mean to Su-bies, pleeeeease...?
I'm totally calling people that are still kinda new, but aren't "newbies" technically anymore, Su-bies from now on.
I apologize to every Su-bie I have ever chastised, or made feel rotten, before. Please forgive me. Amen.
Don't get me wrong, I try to be nice and patient with the newbies (or su-bies) as much as possible, but there is a difference between a su-bie who is still learning and getting used to the fierceboard and one who handles situations like this in an immature and entirely over-dramatic way. If some one is the latter then I stand by my post that the not-always-very-friendly fierceboard environment may not be suited to them as going on the defensive and acting like a bit of a drama queen can just blow the entire argument up more and create 'more drama in their lives'.
