GBCN

A friend suggested i check it out earlier so i sat down and did, and it is nothing but pure ignorance and people are just plain strange there... I don't mean to offend anyone on here that is currently over there, but i'm not sure what i did to piss anyone off but all i did was say a simple hello and was bombarded with rude people... Anyone else? 

Re: GBCN

  • Link your post there, and I'll tell you if the problem is what you said.

    ed: Never mind; I found it.  Yeah, people on the new ML tend to be fairly educated, and therefore sticklers for at least reasonably proper grammar.  It's a good practice at all times, really.

  • That is quite understandable. I don't even think when i type a lot and usually i type fast. But proper grammar is important. But they kept asking "where did she come from it's like "poof there she is" i was just like wow..

    You really should try and stick it out, they all used to be here and the boards rocked then. 
  • I've tried to go over there a few times.  I just really don't like it and can't put my finger on it.  Just go where you are comfortable.

    Proper grammar is always important. 
  • Every time I've lurked over there, they do seem to be quite an opinionated bunch. I made an account but I haven't had any desire to really interact there. Seems like most posts are off topic although I guess I'm judging that on the MM board more than the ML one.

  • What is GBCN?  I checked it out but I couldn't find a home page that explained what the site was about..?

    This is a time when having context is helpful.  Fairly recently, there have been two internet-scandal things on that particular board where someone who had a very dramatic and heart-wrenching story was discovered to be lying.  It had been predicted that these people would come back under new names and pretend to be new (because that tends to happen a lot when someone is embarrassed under one screen name), and unfortunately for you, that was exactly when you decided to try out the board.

    It was unfortunate timing mixed with iffy grammar.

  • Oh really? I did not know this. I am still new to these message boards. But thank you for letting me know that :)
  • I just read this and it looked like that "poof there she is" comment was about someone else (the person that they thought had a google alert set) and not you.
