Get tough Newbies!


Bug

Recommended Posts

It has come to the attention of many that there may be some over zealous posters on this website that would belittle a newbie for being a newbie. As a matter of fact, there are a lot of posters on this board that are just plain rude. So I have come up with a few "rules of thumb" for "newbies" on CC.COM.

Never assume your assailant has a job. Ignore him like a Pike street panhandler.

Do not shrink away from any confrontation. Your apponent is probably a poser.

Check the number of posts the attacker has. That is often an indication of how much of a drinking problem they have.

Assume that the worst asshole on the board will be nice to you at PubClub.

Buy me a beer at PubClub.

Do not try to get a date on this board. Most of the females have chest hair and half the males have ambiguous genetalia. Neither side will be honest about their inherited gender.

There are good climbers here too. I will never climb with them again.

If you really want to climb, you can find someone on this board to go with you. Bring a helmet and your own water bottle.

If they try to drag you up a 5.13 your first day out, that's OK. You learned how to belay.

Can anyone think of something that I left out?

I stood on a chair in the back for the slide show. You and the Law_Goddess were in the booth in front of me. Nice, uh, slide show.

Hrm. I was standing on a chair at the back of the slideshow as well. Guess I should've introduced myself. You probably looked scary or something. yellaf.gif

I think if your desire is to avoid confrontation then the first option works quite well. Most of the rude ones here are just looking to entertain themselves with some insult trading. If you just clam up, they will get bored, and pick on someone else. Sometimes they will follow you around to different threads like a stalker. That is when to get worried. In that case, choose confrontation or return to lurkerdom. wave.gif

 

I was going to continue with what to do if you are looking for confrontation, but I guess that's sort of silly 'cause if they were, they wouldn't be lurking now would they? yellaf.gif
