Tom, as requested, I've pulled out my offensive p***s.
 
But in the spirit of fairness, I have to say, with no hint of sarcasm, that if that word offends you (or anyone else, any age or gender), you have an awful lot of "not" forum policing to be getting on with 'upstairs'.
 
I could fully understand your concern had I used it simply for rudeness/shock value, but I think we're all aware of the phrase "P***s Envy" when euphemistically applied, for example, to comparing one's car to another's. That was how it was meant.
 
Anyway, I guess that now I'll have to start stalking you around the forums - not just to make certain that you take every chance to point out any and all offending posts to their authors, but also to make sure you don't say anything out of line, or even a little risqué, yourself
 
I won't use the word "hypocrisy" here - no doubt your future impeccable conduct and ongoing censorial rampage will ensure that I don't have to
 
Steve

Would a high poster more likely get away with an offensive post? I say probably yes.


The above quote laughable ?

I say defininitly yes

There are women on this forum, 

Have you heard Katie^2 talk? She's like a drunken sailor of shore leave after 3 months at sea.






Or......










She just irritated. Not sure which it is.

Then there's Karyn.

Man, she's even capable of shooting my mouth off...

And I'm not going anywhere near Janet and her chain saw.

Ok... it's time for something completely different.

I was warned off of cat pictures, so let's go with something nearer and dearer to the heart of this forum:



There.  Now, everybody get along, ok?

So where are we now?  Posts envy?  (Or do I need to call it "p***s envy" instead?)

The posts i've read reminded me of our dear CJay.

He hit hard, he was straight forward, but in my early days, he helped me work things out, military style.

"What do you mean? Creative SB is ****, get a decent interface! And for that simple editing, you might want to RTFM"
(Well i may have overdone the posts, but i had quite the same "hurt" value when i read it)

I think i have been told RTFM for about 5 times, until i told them that my manual was washed away by a flood that went inside our house (I saved up my dad's "The Cure" LPs above all.)


High post count, low post count, on my experience, it didn't matter.
Bitflipper was my first close friend here, then came SpaceDuck, then came Bapu and the CH crew.

I have not read the posts that Carissa have may felt being offensive. I don't roam upstairs, even my tech support problems are posted on the CH. But i know, there ARE some people upstairs that may be offensive, defensive or just rude. Whether it be siding with Sonar or not, we know there are people upstairs that are unkind, sometimes making me not want to post there anymore. Maybe that was what Carissa was saying. I also was once sad about the attitudes of some people upstairs (Note, there are unkind users who have low post counts, just to point out), that's why i went down, and that's where i grew, downstairs, and i'm happy with it.


I just disagree with the experts thingy and the forum having cliques. Even as a new user i have never been mobbed by a group of unkind people which were in one alliance. It's too much of a generalization. And about the experts: Most of the experts here are kind. And i don't think experts would be afraid to uphold their expertise to a less-skilled poster.


The downstairs community itself is more than enough to address all help in all topics. It also lets me be free in non-Sonar things, heck i even asked something about Cubase, and i openly said that i have switch to CB5. Yeah maybe i ranted once about Sonar not working for me lately, but that's me, it just couldn't work for me.


About post-count to amount of seriousness, i just want to explain (I'm too lazy to search who posted that statement.)


The reason why the first comments were serious, were because it was still upstairs. ANYTHING that gets redirected to CH gets OT and silly, and it was just coincidences that the ones who posted upstairs had low post counts, and the ones here had high post counts. Okay?

Fire away at this post, weak ones, but know for certain that your demeanor repels valuable people from contributing to this forum, and thusly hurts the product and its user-base in the short, mid and long run. Carissa

 
It seems you're just as guilty of the same behavior that you admonish Carissa.
