If posting this:



...somehow drives new users away. Then what the hell will pretty much everything else posted here will do?

It's fantasy delusion to think that meme will drive ppl away. Or rather, if it does, then all the rest will too. So what? Welcome to PatNet! Or any other site for that matter?

Telling new users that we will all "laugh at you" is just about the worst possible welcome imaginable.

Apparently, what I see on this site is not the same as what you do.

Put yourself in the place of a new user.

Would anyone want to post anywhere he has been told he will be instantly laughed at?

I am putting myself in the place of someone who is very aware of what new users are going to see on this site sooner or later.

I am shocked that you don't.

And if they are such a snowflake where something like that will drive them away in that thread, they will be dropping off anyway.

Want me to go and cherry pick something from the Latest Images thread to make my point? I mean, c'mon. This is common sense, Patrick.

I disagree.

Being told you will be mocked is the worst possible introduction to the site.

To greet new users with insults is nothing other than actively trying to kill this site.

Don't do that. Be welcoming to the person. Then attack points, never people.

1) The meme is a joke.
2) This is exactly how Leftists react to memes.
3) If they can't see (1) and react to it as (2), they won't be long for this site anyway.
4) 1, 2, & 3 are just common sense derived from knowing what is on this site and what people described in 2 will react thereby.

But you're the boss, Patrick.

So, I'll skip the New Users thread from here on out. I can't guarantee how they react to what else I post. Or what Booger or Ceffer or Wookieman posts. Snowflakes are gonna flake, after all.

BlueSky comes to PatNet! But Booger said it best:

What's with me? Too much swearing or bad takes? I have no issue with feedback. I will hit submit and then I move on about my day and don't think of Patnet at all. Have to have thick skin on internet forums of any kind. I just spew a 50/50 vomit of truth and unacknowledged bull shit that I think is true.
