i've been here about a month now, every single post in the newb section, has been nice, polite, and helpful in whatever way they can. people have tried to be helpful and not once have i seen any attitude... till a few days ago. in the space of 3 separate posts, which one was barely a line of intro... someone came off as egotistical and rather, to be honest, rude. i'm a gamer and i've seen this dozens of times over forums. communities can be very welcoming, and this one from what i have seen is, but the "bull in a chinashop" is apt. you have a strong personality, nothing wrong with that, but... you're also new and have made some claims already, that have clearly rubbed some people the wrong way. so you've stumbled, now it's time to recover, get the lay of the land before you smash anymore china?
