\*\* 2sense, have I told you recently that I think you’re terrific??? \*\* You can call yourself anything, a 2sense by any other name would be as humorous! 😉

NB, I don’t know how you get that I dislike newcomers from my comment about disliking copycats. They aren’t the same thing, you know?? The SDMB flourishes BECAUSE of the newcomers blending in and adding their own unique outlooks, which keeps everything flowing and fresh.

However, anyone who signs on \* just to criticize, \* I do take a mental note of who that person is, to see if it stays a continuing theme of theirs. I don’t consider that a ‘dislike’. I’m sorry if I gave you any other impression that doesn’t express my true feelings.

Anti Pro, you have a sad history with newcomers. You should not try to ignore it, but just face the fact and hope to do better.

I suggest you cite what your proof is to back up your claim, troll3. Otherwise, you just fit in the trollcutter image of those who come to criticize and add nothing of value.
