Do The Regular Posters Intimidate?

If anyone wants to punch me in the face they better bring a friend to carry them home.

And that, my friends, is exactly why I'm very nice to leatherman.

 

BTW, I can run pretty fast.

He uses a Magellan, you could proaby step behind the first tree and he'd never find you. :huh:

ROFLMAO!!

New shoes, eh?*

 

On topic, the UTAG situation is different. You have a smaller section of the geocaching population in one spot vs here where you have such a W-I-D-E range of people from an even wider range of places. There's bound to be more friction the more people you have in one place. Doesn't make it right, just makes it happen.

 

 

*anyone remember when you were a kid your new shoes were "faster" than the last ones?

I lurked for awhile before I ever posted, and I never got the impression that the regular posters were intimidating. I learned a lot from them, they answered many of my questions... I've only been snapped at once, I think, and even then it was hardly anything, not enough to start a flame war over. The one time some regs seem to attack :D is when a newby starts complaining about something or telling others what they should do or what would make the game better. That seems to really get some hackles up.

 

A LOT of it depends on HOW you say what you say in your post.

 

BUT... I think It is naturally a little intimidating to join in an organization/club/sport/forum where you are new to things and there are people who have been around for a long time and know each other, etc... you may feel like you don't know what's going on, how to act, what to say. So that whole experience, whether it is geocaching.com or joining some other club or group in your hometown, it's difficult for awhile until you get the lingo, behavioral norms, and all that stuff down.

 

my (hopefully non-intimidating) two cents.

How many intimidation topics does this forum require? It's getting pretty rediculous at this point.

 

Reality check: I manage a site that lists plastic containers in the woods. If you feel intimidated in a forum that discusses finding containers in the woods, your boss needs to give you some more work to do.

Well, when you put it that way...... :D

That needs repeated again.

Thanks for that, Jeremy.

I agree. However this was the first one, the others were spin-offs.

 

Given the number of replies and views on this thread I think we covered the bases.
