no i mean just in general, been following this post for a few days and it really just seems like people enjoy making fun of people just coming here to try to pass the time and discuss a music festival. just lots of talking down and stuff. i'm sure this will probably get torn apart now anyway because it seems like thats what anyone whos been here for a while likes to do to anyone whos new. i dont really care for my sake, it just seems to me like a lot of the people who have been here are kind of nasty to people. its your board and stuff so youre free to do whatever with it i guess, just my observation as someone new or neutral
Seriously, it's ridiculous. Talking down to people because of their opinions, their contributions to a discussion, their taste in music...
Care to give some specifics?
I know there was a lot of arguing about why the lineup isn't out yet and whether or not the leaked image was real.

The correlation between post count and how big of an asshole they are is there. Sorry for noticing it and calling everyone out for being pathetic keyboard warriors.
you arent excluded from this haha. it seems like anyone whos been here for like 6 months or more (with a few exceptions) is just kind of mean spirited or bitter

You created a new account just for this? Claiming that you're giving an outsiders perspective while you have another account that posts in here is just silly.

all the #allstars bs, all the "everyone in this thread is stupid/reading comprehension stuff" "worse than hangout" making fun of people for throwing out off the wall ideas. just seems like theres a culture of making fun of new people in the thread or people who arent as knowledgeable
Considering you've found the need to respond to my threads as if you are threatened by me I offer you some peace my confused counterpart. May you find peace in your restless soul.

Or maybe venture outside this thread and see that this disaster of a thread is a drop in the bucket compared to the amount of information and good people on this board?

I will not tolerate people taking advantage of others on this forum. Please tell me which poster took the shift keys away from you and I will make sure they are returned to your possession.

I said specifics....meaning show me where people are being ridiculed just for their musical tastes and not because they posted a vocal opinion that someone else disagrees with.
There isn't a culture of making fun of new people. There is a culture of making jokes about everyone around here (many long time members are definitely included). It just so happens that there's a lot of uninformed ideas, divisive opinions and theories, and back and forth name calling in this here thread.
This is a tiny portion of this entire message board/community. Please don't act like a dozen (or less) regular members making jokes about this festival and this thread is representative of the entire board. That's just plain incorrect.
I've been here 3 years and I don't feel bitter at all. People are throwing around too many generalizations up in here. Also I'm pretty sure this is like an off year for firefly and they are just trolling us.

I guess this may be a strange concept to you but why would anyone in their right mind want to waste their time looking through a thread to find specific posts?

Because most arguments require more than hearsay to be validated. Just a thought.

I mean....you're complaining about things that happen here. I ask for specific examples and not just generalized "people are mean" or "they're making fun of us" so that I can see what's happening, make a judgement call, and try to look out for things like that in the future.
You have a problem. I offer to help. You refuse the offer because you think it's a waste.
Seriously, if you don't like this place or the members and only come around for updates and won't contribute when I ask for examples in order to help with your complaints then stop posting here. Just lurk.

Fair enough. I don't care enough to look through past posts or continue an argument with these people. I'll just check in once in awhile to see if there are any updates while the same cast of characters will continue to life their lives trolling on a message board.
It sucks that new members will have to deal with it but I guess I'm done trying to stand up against them.

As a pretty neutral and recent member to this board, I will admit one thing: sarcasm runs rampants, and old-time posters like to poke fun. But as someone else pointed out, they make fun of each other too and it (with exceptions, yes, but for the most part) seems to be in jest. If that's not a vibe that you like hanging around, totally your call, you don't have to join in the conversations. But I wouldn't say that most of the old-time posters here bully everyone. I don't see evidence of that...

Dude it's not like youre standing up for a group of people. Almost 100% of people think you're terrible. Stop trying to turn this into an us vs them.
Would you rather have to post only in a thread moderated by Carl on Inforoo, or permanently move to the Firefly boards and face the wrath of Mike G? #FireflyWouldYouRather

Tensions going upppppp on a Tuesday. In the firefly thread, though, seems like every day is a Tuesday for that reason.
Maybe we should all play a friendly game of Would You Rather?
Would you rather Santa be real or the Firefly leak be real? Slight switch up from the GENIUS would you rather tweet nobly chosen today.
Or how about Would you rather win a free ticket to the fest or win the ability to punch everyone on the RF PR team in the face without getting arrested?

Here's a tip that will help you AND me:
Use the ignore/block function. You won't have to see those people that you can't stand to interact with.
ALSO
Use the "report a post" function. If you truly think someone is being out of line (and not just debating someone else but actually going out of their way to be a dick) then report that post. The moderators don't see every post in every thread, especially ones that move fast like this one (or the Bonnaroo Headliner thread). And even when we do see some questionable posts we can't be mindreaders and assume that the person being talked to was offended or thinks it's funny and will joke right back. Alerting us with the "Report a Post" button at least gives us more of a chance to really look at a situation and determine if anyone needs to be talked to or warned or whatever.

You're far too friendly and welcoming for someone with more than 20,000 posts.

Hey. I have a high post count. I think you suck.
I was hoping you wouldn't post here. People might start believing his correlationalistic science.
