I dont agree with your statement but agree with part of it. Is not that we are tough on nOObs, we are tough on stupid nOObs. Normally, we coordinate an attack via PMs then we strike. We let the nOOb get complacent then we strike again. If the nOOb got the fabric and determination he may stick around.

Thats why the dog created the stickies in the Tech Forum, he and socalman were proactive enough, to give the nOOb the benefit of the doubt. We assume he would check the forum out before he tries to "break the ice".

Normally nOObs that post their picture will not last long.

Something like this is what happens when few of us get irritated at noobs. A moronic nOOb asked about wheels once and...

Thats the same genius trying to remove the TPI to install a carburetor to go on a across country road trip. I told a CorvetteMike and Socalman that got to be a troll, no-one out there can be so stupid to think about that.
