"Hi, I'm new!"

Hi, I'm Ryu Ken. I'm new here and I just wanted to say hello. What miscreants should I look out for then to be burned at the stake and who are the big-brained posters?

Ken.

ive been here for about 2 months, and i dont know who renolds is yet! why does everyone hate him? who is he? whta did he do to deserve such ridicule?

Quint, did I mention your name at any point during my post? ;)

Nope, mainly because I wasn't referring to you, but the mindset of a fair number on these forums intent on witch hunting. I saw your post, I saw the fact you didn't just scream "Shut up Reynolds!", hence my not citing you as an example. ;)

The average paragraph in the English language consists of around eight sentences, or a change in the topic being covered, since my entire post did not reach this number and was of the same topic throughout; there was no need for a second paragraph.

Nice try Schroeder, but try harder in future. ;)

Erm i hasten to disagree mate. Okay i did mention Reynolds, but i said "Inoccent till proven guilty" and left it at that. He blew the whole situation out of proportion by babbling on and on, and your just adding fuel to the flame.

I can even string a complex argument, heck i could even be right.

Gamezfreak's the name, Xbox'ing is my game.

well i will have to continue in my role as protector of the newbies. I think he is a genuine newbie, most newbies are fairly good posters, but the bad ones deserved to be well and truly newbie bashed. Even if he is reynolds, who cares as long as he is makng an effort to contribute properly to the site. If reynolds came back i wouldn't care so long as he posted properly. It seems you get the inquisition after you if you post well and get bashed if you post badly. Its a wonder that there are any newbies staying!

Really, I see no paragraphs.

I wouldn't bother yourself with the few intent on insisting that every new user is actually , Ken. Unlike what is apparently the vast majority here, I can actually string a fairly complex sentence together, heck - even a paragraph. As such, I frequently get the peanut gallery showing up in my longer posts, and telling me it looks copied. Much to their dismay, however, is the fact they aren't which results in the fools walking off looking like idiots. So far I haven't been accused of being Reynolds etc. which is a good thing (wait for the obvious comedian to post a reply stating I'm Reynolds now ;) ), but having to persistantly see the lunatic fringe on their way from my topics does get tiresome... still, if you just treat the people hellbent on giving you gip as the morons they are, you can't go wrong. ;)

Oh i'm ashley and you should stay away from me as i'm strange!

Herc, i thought that court injunction stopped you asking younger kids personal details on the net!

No seriously, it is a bit dodgy how in 2 minutes we know so much about him! I mean anyone of us could be dodgy gary Glitters!
