We shall never have friends, if we expect to find them without faults. I'm new here and am not sure of what I'm doing. Am I a lone voice crying int the wilderness?Hello Sunset Rose. Welcome. Things can get a bit brutal here sometimes but we're mostly an amiable crowd.
The information in the top post here made by Minotaur is an old one that was posted when Min and I were moderators (last year). I'm not sure that the present group of moderators offer mentoring in a specific sense. The format has changed and we no longer have PM's in that form but we have "conversation" ability which is pretty much the same thing as a PM. And, if you have any questions, feel free to ask in the appropriate forum and someone will be glad to answer.
Jump right in and start talking and don't be put off if someone gets in your face. It happens and it's okay.

Just trying to grasp how this works, sorrytest - seeing if this works - duh!

Welcome @Jack Rabbit . And I prefer people with flaws since I am made up of stitched-together flaws.We shall never have friends, if we expect to find them without faults. I'm new here and am not sure of what I'm doing. Am I a lone voice crying int the wilderness?
Why would you even do that to a new poster in the Introductions forum?When you are posting here the unspoken rules of the road are to (1)never admit you have flaws; (2) pick a side, stay on it no matter what; (3) apologize to those on your own side but never apologize to anyone on the other side.
In the next sentence I said it was "tongue in cheek".Why would you even do that to a new poster in the Introductions forum?
That is a funny sort of a thing to say, for a new poster - why do you think you might be a lone voice crying int the wilderness?We shall never have friends, if we expect to find them without faults. I'm new here and am not sure of what I'm doing. Am I a lone voice crying int the wilderness?
It was an odd sortta thing for a new poster to say -- wasn't it?Why would you even do that to a new poster in the Introductions forum?
I hoped Jack would tell us exactly what he was crying into the wilderness about. So far.........nothing.It was an odd sortta thing for a new poster to say -- wasn't it?
'Am I a lone voice crying into the wilderness?' --- I don't understand why a new person would say that - do you?
Meh, it's a not uncommon Biblical metaphor for speaking even while under the impression no one is listening. A pretty apt description of much of the non-responsive back and forth of what passes for 'discussion' on this site, imo.It was an odd sortta thing for a new poster to say -- wasn't it?

Yet here you are...............Meh, it's a not uncommon Biblical metaphor for speaking even while under the impression no one is listening. A pretty apt description of much of the non-responsive back and forth of what passes for 'discussion' on this site, imo.
Thanks for illustrating my point.Yet here you are...............
I wasn't moaning about the "discussion" quality here.Thanks for illustrating my point.
Not "moaning," describing. Again, thank you for illustrating my point.I wasn't moaning about the "discussion" quality here.
You were.
For a second post? It just seemed a bit odd, I wasn't criticising it was being talked about - perhaps they will elaborate - in post 3?Meh, it's a not uncommon Biblical metaphor for speaking even while under the impression no one is listening.

We wait ..............I hoped Jack would tell us exactly what he was crying into the wilderness about. So far.........nothing.
Why not in a 2nd post? Again, it's a not uncommon saying; perhaps it's less common in the UK than here. And I doubt we'll hear from this poster again after he / she got the obnoxious post from @Jen that I'm sure resulted in the [accurate] conclusion that this is a board unfriendly to newcomers.For a second post?

Ummmm I think that you are making a mountain out of a mole hill - and why wouldn't the new poster come back? Jack got this far ............. of course he'll be back.Why not in a 2nd post?

What molehill am I making a mountain of? I wasn't the one obsessing over the poster's statement about being a voice in the wilderness, that was you and Jen, as though that random and frequently used Biblical reference was some big mystery of import. Jen being rude to new posters is hardly new, so no mountain there and I was not the first to observe it. In fact I wouldn't have mentioned it at all if Jen hadn't butted into my reply to you.Ummmm I think that you are making a mountain out of a mole hill - and why wouldn't the new poster come back?
