This is probably the only site I would pay money for, other than Major League Baseball. If you want obcure information, this is THE place. If you want opinions on controversial topics, sometimes objectively, this is THE place. Yes, I joined ASAP, why do you ask? ---

> [@Galaxyhorse](#): > > Do not assume you know me from a few sentences that I have written. > By the way it is impossible to insult me.So do not bother trying. Honestly, I CAN’T STAND people like you. As someone already pointed out, you obviously brought this up just for attention, and for attempts to be proven wrong. Come on… I agree with many of the others-- Need to start a hostile thread asking if you should join? You probably shouldn’t. I’ll be paying up soon, and don’t need to insult others before I do it. -Matt ---

If you honestly feel a poster is trolling, contact a Moderator. You can either e-mail us or click on “Report Bad Post” (little exclamation mark at the top, right-hand corner of every post). You have been warned. **Greenback** and **Corner Case** : If you want to be that hostile to a poster and insult them, then you need to take it to the Pit. If you, too, feel a poster is acting up in this forum, contact a Moderator. You’ve been warned. **TheGreatPastrami** : ratchet it back. This is MPSIMS, not the Pit. And, finally, \*\* Galaxyhorse\*\*. If you’ve read as many threads as you’ve mentioned, then that’s likely all of the evidence for joining you need; however, should you truthfully feel you need more convincing, perhaps a post where you volunteer that “no one can insult you” isn’t the friendliest, wisest post to make. At any rate, I agree with some of the others and think your tone has been slightly combative in this thread, and this before people started jumping on you. This is closed. ---

There’s also evidence to indicate that “Galaxyhorse” actually is someone who has registered at least twice to avoid paying suscription fees by abusing the free trial privilege. So I guess there’s no convincing them. TubaDiva [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/why-should-i-pay-14-95-to-become-a-member/350232.md?page=3)
