I believe the ouch refers to your use of chatroom-speak. People on these boards use standard English most of the time. Welcome to our sandbox! We are mostly fun, friendly folks. Read lots of threads and you’ll get a feel for the place. ---

Just for the sake of clarity, **Blonde Keira** (yes, I am an old curmudgeon, despite what anyone else may tell you;)), here’s a version of your OP that would have been less “chat room”-like and more “message board”-like: Hey folks, I’m a newbie and wanted to say hi! I think this site is pretty cool; if you want to say hi then hit me back! Bye, Keira 😃 PS. You can post here after July 8, but you hafta pay. This would be a good time to get all those GQ posts in;) ---

Welcome, doll. I’m not into violence, so I won’t hit you. Take your time. Wander 'round the grounds. If you’re cool enough, you’ll sign up for real. ---

Gee, **Bruce** , don’t be harsh on the girl. If 18-year-old blonde chicks want to flaunt themselves to total strangers, then let the record show that I’ll not stand in their way 😃 ---

Popeye needs his spinach and all that. I thought it was odd for a young girl to run into room of strangers and drop her clothes, obviously fishing for complements. Nevertheless, most of us took off slow\*, so just take your time. And the shift key is your friend. \*That being said, [this](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=260921) is one of the best running starts I’ve seen.
