  > so even my question about being a newbie get voted down. NICE!

Is not a question. That's what I was referring to. You will get the context from the indentation level. And yeah I hope :-) that not everyone has been on the site everyday since the day their account was "created".

Ok I am taking notes: when you have, enough point to do so down vote all newbies who are learning the ropes and discourage them from feeling welcome or posting. Right? That is a question by the way.

You made a fuck up. Some people tried to help, others piled on a little strong.

Bottom line is; things are a bit different around here (as well as much the same as any other community). Accept you screwed up, read the advice and take it away. Getting upset at blunt replies isn't really going to help (you or anyone else). Getting mad about the downvotes, even less so. Starting threads moaning about flamewarring etc. is even worse ;)

Don't worry about it. We all make mistakes. Now you've had a crash course in some of the rules and ettitquete.

No one is out to get you.

I would ignore this entire thread from now on if I were you. There is little else constructive to be added. I suspect a mod will kill it off reasonably soon.

well at least I have clue now who has been down voting me non stop.
