Unfortunately, some of the older crotchety members have burned bridges for us newer fellas.
I've been ignored by users (maybe a dozen) simply for having fun with other users. Those same people encourage others to just simply ignore us for having fun. It's sad, really.
It's ironic, too, because 1 of those said members is tagged every time there's a new Friday thread. They can have fun, but I can't? Hypocrisy at its finest.
Luckily, there are plenty of great people around here.who check their egos at the door and can have conversations without being bothered by someone having an opinion of their own.
