Hi,
I have spent a great deal of energy restraining myself from commenting on this thread. As a result of this firestorm, I went back and read some of Search4BP's posts. Unfortunately, they only confirmed my initial impression. I fully understand what it feels like to try to find one's place in a large online group, it can be daunting to say the least. But I do know that regardless of one's age, religion, race, creed, color, education, etc. there are certain universal no no's. It is always prudent to stand back and take one's time to assess the lay of the land so to speak. Only then and with caution should one jump in with both feet. Search entered the scene with insults , anger, arrogance, elitism, and generalizations and exited the same way. I can remember attempting to say calming things to perhaps stem the tide, but alas they fell on deaf ears.
This is a large board , there are many intelligent, attractive , and witty individuals who interact here. Each one in his or her turn had to make an entrance and find a way to create their own unique niche. Life can be unfair. Everyone is not going to love everyone else. But we do need to at least attempt to interact with a modicum of graciousness. When one enters a room wearing a t-shirt which states clearly " Does not play well with others" then there should be no surprise concerning the outcome.
