Just one woman's opinion: Many of these newbies appear to be oldies (or an oldie) with an axe to grind. As many other members have noticed and have pointed out, it's very odd when someone is already bashing certain members on a first or second post.

you are correct and those users with the new ID's are pure cowards who suddenly become keyboard commandos hiding behind their anonymous ID's.

Its amazing how they seem to know so much about users and topics but most of all - how they can instantly throw out all the hateful comments on their first posts - such as the ones darryl has been posting about the FPD.

maybe chipshot is back?

Dude, John is just trying to keep the peace on here. Many folks have gotten similar notes/requests - heck just ask Palango and Darth....

John's not telling you he doesn't want you here, he just asked to try and help keep things a bit mellow and not so heated, you know how things can escalate sometimes.... thats all.

+100. If I can do it WITHOUT whining and crying, then ANYONE can town it down. This thread is not adding anything of value anymore, but a sad soap opera episode of a tantrum, handslapping, and begging not to go.

The funny part is that I know and am willing to be that Mr and Mrs V will be back either themselves or another screen names fairly soon after a brief vacation. They just want people to say "pretty please" and some moderators to make a PUBLIC apology (which is NOt happening).

In the spirit of the new leaner, meaner, and greener Myfolsom.com's new motto of "add value or get out", Can we just close this chapter because it is NOT adding value???

Meh... it's all the natural cycle of MyFolsom. We slowly accumulate too many people that have no lives and/or can't act like adults, childish crap goes down, people get banned, others leave because their feelings/perceived rights/egos get hurt. Some are missed, many are not. The world keeps spinning. MyFolsom will survive. New Richard Craniums will come and go.

[nhardy]

Heck no, we'll take the newbies and the baiters, but we dont want the V's!!!

....kidding of course...lets have a pint sometime yea?

[camay2327]

Get rid of some of the newbies that are causing the problem. And, yes, some of them may be return members that dropped out, or were kicked off earlier.

[futile]

Sorry guys... it's not happening.

Hey I haven't been on here long but this all sounds like a bunch of BS. I'll agree with that. Private messages should remain private for everything short of bodily harm or terrorist activity. I hope I can meet you and your wife sometime. See you around town (or seeing and not recognizing)
Best of Luck!

Something has certainly hit the fan in the past 2 weeks.

It shouldnt be newbie vs. long time veterans, rather it should be welcome newbies to the forum. Thinks may be a little rough but that is mainly in the political area and if you aren't ready for it, stay out of the fray, use the ignore feature or request John block\filter political topics...no big deal.

There was a bit of snarky comments, heated "debates" such as FFG and EDH for example but at the end of the day, who cares. Ignore the junk and appreciate when they and others add value with good topics and posts. I didn't always agree with the V's but they had good posts. The NS daycare has ironically gone silent this week... that didnt end well but blame certainly started with the first post (err what was it 2-3 multiple posts).

Anyway, newbies - welcome to the forum. Lurk around, get to know members, read the forum rules, think before posting, use common internet\forum rules and have fun. Be a donkey and be flamed and or be gone.

I'm sorry to see you go because you were instrumental in helping me learn about scooters and eventually get one. It takes two people to have a problem so if you're leaving the person or people who have complained should leave too. I've noticed that people like to antagonize and rile people up. . . do they not have anything better to do? God Bless!

See you all around. I'm done here. Apparently the management wants me gone. They'd rather side with new members. So.... it's been fun.

I'd rather have the V's around then rude users like this

Agree...and sorry to see us losing the V's and Mylo.

(nice version of complaint)...and as I've had 2 posts uncerimoniously deleted already today (one that sarcastically called for a mod to step in on a "personal attack" and one that simply said, "Rude") Both had quotes, but someone else that quoted the "rude" poster was not deleted, and basically said he was rude.

I will be keeping a close eye on the direction this takes.

Censorship in the name of "protection" is a dangerous thing my friends.

While I understand the intent of playing nice, people should be called out if their posts deserve it.

(what i really wanted to say) Boo-hoo, someone on the internet called me a bad name and said my ideas sucked...my self-esteem! My self-esteem! Moderator! Moderator!
