screaming obscenities and giggling later on, the abuse directed at the new kid, and everyone involved gives eachother reps for it..
everyone remembers this from high school - shit, some of us are still in high school..
i like sarcasm and fine humor as much as the next guy, but constant swearing and hostility is not part of it..
i can understand thuston hunger's frustration..
the board is turning sour......

I will say that what I find more irritating are these threads that are started as ploys for attention.
As I said before, how were we meant to respond to Thurston Hunger's declaration that he was leaving the board? Collectively rally behind him, grab our torches and hangrope, and march to HaydenAsche's and Everyneurotic's homes? Grab our hair in lamentation and scream, "NO Thurston Hunger, for the love of GOD, don't leave us!"
You make the conscious decision to leave - fine. Whether I see you face or ass first makes no difference to me. Buh-bye.
I find it more childish to attempt to lasso innocent board members into existing conflicts. If Thurston Hunger had an issue with Everyneurotic and/or Gooey, so be it - but leave it that way. Don't start a whiny, petulant thread in an effort to garner the support of the other board members.
If you want my secret suspicions, I suspect Thurston Hunger is, whether new or old, a boarder whose sole intent was to wind the place up. A troll, if you will. There are few other reasons why a new board member would engage in behavior that is quite recognizably irritating and, when called out upon it, would make such a brash, presumptuous statement:
"Obviously, he feels threatened that his "private club" has been invaded in some way. New members are clearly not welcome. Hayden, if you were a real SY fan you might want to be a bit less elitist and childish about things. But I doubt you even like the music much."
Sounds more to me like someone who wasn't a particular fan of the two above-mentioned posters, and wanted to 'teach them a lesson.'
Is it my turn to be presumptuous? You betcha. But if I'm wrong, I shall gladly admit to such an offense, and you won't likely see a thread announcing my huffy, indignant departure from such a cruel, heartless medium.
