As for the "Welcome to the Internet", thanks but I'm no newbie by any stretch of the imagination. I've been participating in, and moderating, online discussion forums of one form or another for over 20 years, and yes I do realize that predates the existance of the WWW by almost a decade. I built my first adult web site in 1997. There's a big difference between "a new face" and "a newbie", and if you'd checked my profile or looked back through my posts for my introduction back in July you'd have known I'm not a wet behind the ears kid that took a wrong turn at GFY.
I don't think either of the instances I saw today were intentionally malicious, but I also don't think those posting put much thought behind their remarks. My Grandpa taught me, "If ya ain't got nothin' nice to say, shut the fuck up." His language may have been a bit rough, but the advice is still sage.

I did look back through your posts before I posted that and I knew you were not a newbie. I did however, think that you could take a joke and were probably just having a bad day.
Dravyk was just messing with jbrasco951 and if you chceked back through jbrasco's posts you would see that he went through a little initiation by fire because of the way he introduced himself to the board.
Not every joke is gonna go off well, often what folks post sounds a lot funnier in the head before it comes off the fingers, just like any conversation.
