Things have come to a pretty sad state when we read:
snip > -----------------
Our problem isn't that people don't have time,
our problem is that
people don't want to spend their recreational time in the presence of
facially-hirsute old farts who treat them like idiots.
These people seriously undercut the good efforts that other members
try to put in place to make newcomers feel welcome. It only needs
one antisocial arsehole to make someone think, "I'm supposed to be
having a good time, but here I am on my day off getting told-off by
someone I don't even know. I wouldn't let my best friend talk to
me like that, so why am I putting up with this complete stranger
treating me like crap?"Â Anyone subjected to that kind of treatment
is going to spend their next weekend rockclimbing, playing cricket,
washing the car, or doing any of the other countless billions of
activities it's possible to do without being insulted by geriatric
old farts.
Snip
I just knew that this was going to turn into another bloody OFITTH
bash. It
always does.
