    This is all my opinion, but I have lurked around here for quite a while, and I know hostility when I see it.

    And believe me, hostility was the attitude displayed to poor old Patrick. Am I the only one who wonders why everybody was so mean, he didn't seem to be doing anything bad like hacking.

    He was funny and kind IMHO and shoudn't have been bullied like that. If this is the attitude shown to newbies on this board, then I don't think it will last that longer.

    Hey! Ma, get me my shotgun! You just might get burned for that

    I didn't see much but it seemed abit mean and on other forums he seems to be nice if abit presumptious. I mean, he was giving the board of chance, that's a minority giving the majority a chance. That's not the way it works. It's the majority that gives the chances and the minorities that takes them. And I think he acted too much like people gave a shit.

    I'm also not sure the main antagonists of Patrick care what happened or what other people's opinions are of what they did.

    I think we all just needed someone to let loose on and Patrick had "Victim" stamped on his forehead.

    being registered since yesterday doesn't convince me of your long-time lurking status... sorry.

    There is no need to have registered an account if you are just lurking.

    My guesses are that this is Patrick looking for someone to agree with him so that when he comes back in his real handle, he'll refer back to this thread for proof.

    I really hope you're going for the "It's so crazy it just might be true!" angle there. Also...

    1. You live in the same place as Patrick. If you're his cousin, this is also plausible, but it's a little too convenient for me.

    2. I have never heard anyone say anything like what you've written. Your first post conjured images of a generic old psychologist telling kids not to be mean to each other, it doesn't matter who wins or loses at sport and it's important to just be yourself.

    3. If you're a long time lurker, and his cousin, and you use the same computer, surely you would have/should have warned him beforehand about participating here.

    WHAHAHAHAHA!

    I think what really gave him away there was the fact that he said this -
    If you were a lurker, you would've known that we've been treating irritating newbs like this for the past few years :D. And still going strong...

    I didn't think you were that bad either, Happy Pat / Buddha Alpha but neither you, nor your alter ego have any idea of the workings of this board.

    Matt can elucidate further on the precise method this happens, although Jar actually let him back in, so he is a bit of an exception.

    BTW, did you already leave in your self righteous farewell, or were you banned?

    Being treated badly seems to be a right of passage around here, you won't ever change a tradition like that here, or in most other forums.

    I didn't warn him because I just came to his place from my house, I do know that is the way that newbies are treated, and that this forum has a reputation. And you don't have to register to view posts, you can look at them regardless of whether you are registered.

    Where does this forum have a reputation outside of this forum. I would like to know where exactly we are known as a pit of newbie-hating posters?

    Besides the Eastern Ukraine.... I might have screwed that vital region up for the forum unintentionally.

    BTW, do they ever HAVE phone lines in the Eastern Ukraine?
