You're Gooby? Wow, didn't see that one coming. Well, I accept your apology. Hopefully we all learned something: it isn't ever easy to be a newbie. Especially a younger one; and that we shouldn't be mean to newbies. They're trying to learn how to use the forum, and it's even harder for them when users aren't nice to them. It's basically a pecking order. It happened to me, and I know that it has happened to many, if not most or all, of forum users. The moral = treat new users with respect. You never know who is behind that computer, iPod, or God knows what. Could be an easily offended kid.
Rand, that was an interesting experiment with a risk of getting suspended or worse. This experiment has taught us so much about how hard it is being a newbie. It was very hard for me, and I feel their pain. So, my New Year's wish is for people here to be, well, nicer to new members. Although it probably won't happen, please be nicer to newbies, even if they annoy you. As stated before, I was having an ever-so-difficult time because older users were giving me a hard time. They were cruel, like they were to "Gooby". And one day I hope that changes. No one should be treated like that. So guys, please be nicer to newbies.

I'm actually kind of glad Rand O M made Gooby. So when an actual oversensitive brat comes along and does something like this, you guys can learn from this and ignore whatever they say that might piss you off. I have a friend who told me to my face that he thinks inter-racial marriage is an attempt to get rid of white people. Using me as an example because I'm half white, that I'm probably going to marry an Asian woman. That really pissed me off. A lot. But it's really hard to change people's views on things and in my honest opinion there's really no point in trying. All it'll do is start an argument. So I hope Gooby helped some of you learn how to deal with situations like that.

Oh my. You surprised all of us. Although I'm surprised you got away with it, honestly. Uh, I forgive you, too. ^.^

We all learned something, though.

Respect new users and treat them fairly, they could be another user.

You should respect them or at least treat them fairly regardless. It shouldn't matter if they are another user or someone completely new.

That was unexpected e.e

People thought you died. It makes sense that you were an alt. Actually I knew Gooby was an alt when you wrote that long paragraph and using the word hypocrite.

When Gooby returned, the spelling/grammar seemed better and further gave me the impression of an alt.

You could say that alt was random.

Woah......I thought Gooby was Dark52 in disguise! But this makes sense too. My only backing for the Gooby is Dark theory was that all the hunters never doubted Gooby or even acknowledged his assistance so I thought the hunters were in on it.
