[QUOTE="mast240, post: 7593317, member: 631695"] Sorry to hear about your mom... Alot of guys on here have dealt with similar situations, and many of us can understand what that can do to your mental state. here's the thing you need to realize about this site. It really is a community, and what i mean by that, is that there is a HUGE member base, but then you also have a much smaller base of regular users. it's this smaller base of people that you will interact with 95% of the time on this forum. Point being, first impressions are everything, especially with people you interact with frequently. So if someone comes on here, and starts making snide comments to respected members, they're going to get trolled, and trolled hard. It doesn't matter if you're a great guy or not, because all that the smaller, more tight nit, member base will see is you being an a$$hole to a respected member. And you could even just be busting balls, but until the regular members on here get to know you, they can only take it as you just being an a$$. I think you could do ok here, but acting like you know everything, dont care about how other members view you, or even disregarding sound advice, it just doesn't work here very well. You've got to remember, you may have been in the game for 3-4 years so far, but there are member on here who have been in it for 10,15 and even 20 years. Yes there is a large group of a$$holes on here, but the vast majority of them are great guys, who are also a$$holes. No one is telling you to bend over, or even to concede defeat, all we're saying is that until the members on here get to know you, boasting, sh[I]i[/I]t talking, and all the crap that goes along with it, will just make coming on this forum a pain in the as[I]s[/I]... just food for thought.
