it makes sense on TV. why not in life? |
The difference is that a member who is new to any particular forum may have more experience posting on forums than the most senior member. They may also be more intelligent, funnier, etc., yet the custom is to marginalize the n00b for as long as possible. While the act of hazing n00bs can be fun for it's own sake, it looks like primative territorial posturing. The irony is in elitist intellectuals behaving like a troop of chimps.

Ah yes, another interesting ironic principle. It seems to me that anyone who posts on a forum is an attention whore to some degree. Did you not post the above statement to draw attention to yourself?
