so here's the dea... the world is diverse and full of all kinds of interesting people, some of whom get off on yanking your chain and others who, like those you talk about, are so dead-set in their ways that a change of heart would be a major life desicion. the internet is a lovely little slice of that real world, it seems to be a pretty even slice, so the same people you're gonna find out there are gonna be around here. the thing you need to realize is that this is all there is to these people. to some, it's a wonderful existence, to others it's a pathetic game that we can't stop watching, but either way, those people are there and will show up in numbers at any given time. the thing is, if you take everything they say to heart, you're gonna end up like them, so you need to take what they say with a grain of salt. there are gonna be negative people in whatever you do in life. how you handle that negativity is one of the things that defines you as a person. if you can handle what they say and move on, then great. you have support here at the tfp, you have a mod team that is more than willing to review anything you think shouldn't be there and make a desicion based on a consensus. you may not always like the desicion, as others are allowed their opinions, but if it is truly rude and out of place, it can be dealt with. you're not alone, we love this place and wnat it to be the best experience for everyone... but as with anything, we can't please everyone all the time.
