Chang,
The forum has had a harsh reaction because, to be frank, you've been getting under a lot of people's skins. The first one I remember is when you inadvertantly insulted Flow, which was around the time you made me upset about something. Apparently you managed to tick off AlexK (who I've rarely seen get mad on the forum), and I remember some caustic exchanges with you and YoungerPrer (younger"prep").
"I'm sure he'll have a good time learning PR while everyone seemly mocks him."
Nobody here mocks someone because they're new. Nobody here really MOCKS anybody. In fact, I think after you made a pretty insulting comment to Flow, another person did mock you, and Flow, the person you insulted, noted that the mocking was really rude. Mocking only really happens as an additional jab in what's most likely already a mean-spirited post (like what I do).
"But I just find it intriguing that all the excellence people have dignity to all team up and remark on one statement."
People DO react when someone does things that are making a lot of people upset. Seriously, if you manage to get four different board veterans upset about lots of different things, that's a bad sign. It's not because you're new, or even completely about what happened in this thread; it's because you're doing something.
"You are pretty harsh to statements that you disagree on. Looking at your prior posts, it's you help others then you kill others."
Yeah, this is true. I get very defensive with myself and for my friends. I believe I may have the record for the amount of threads deleted in this forum due to my exploding flaming habits. Some may remember one thread that had something like 200 posts. But I stand my ground that though sometimes harsh, I always try to remain appropriate.
"But for now, I quit this forum on further posts until I learn PR well enough to post again."
That's not the point. No one here wants you to leave because you don't know the system well enough. In fact, the problems people are having with you has nothing to do with PRing. People are upset because they see you as rude, and while a lot of the time I've felt most conceptions were just misunderstandings, I'm sure there are several occasions where YOU drove OTHER people off with this attitude (I remember one incident where you told people not to come on the forum until they learned the system first).
Chang, nobody wants you to leave. They just want you to not be a jerk. You obviously want to help people, and this is commendable, but helping people doesn't have to involve pretending to be experienced when you're not. Helping people on a forum involves something as simple as giving advice based on your own experience. Most of the time giving this advice will make YOU better at the system.
Faking this experience just hurts everybody, including yourself.
You can learn a lot from these forums, and I've heard of a couple people that managed to learn the entire system using just clever navigation of it. It's a valuable resource, and it would be stupid to give it up.
I suggest you stay, and just try to be nicer. Isn't that a feasible option? I think your intentions are ultimately good and that you want to help people, but just watch how you act towards others.
You're a really good person with really bad manners. Clean up one, and the other will shine through.
In short: Don't be a jerk. You're better than that, man.
