"I don't usually post here but I do have something to say. I have been in
AW since January 1996. I recently bought my own world and came here to learn and ask about object making. I never once asked any questions here. Why? I was intimidated by some of the posts made by Eep. I do read most of the posts here but after seeing some of the new people being attacked I decided not to bother posting. I just wonder how many others are out there who won't post here because of the intimidation. This is the "community" NG but it doesn't feel like a community when new people feel intimidated before they ever post the first post." -Ivie -- J B E L L http://platinum.awjbell.com G O I N G P L A T I N U M j b e l lFeb 8, 2001, 11:42pm
"Show us a eep post that helped someone.
Yes eep has contributed in the past... the past is not now.. Every post eep has entered, has had either a putdown, cursing, or name calling attached to it. I fail to see how that helps the community. Don't give me this crap about 'he means well..." or "thats just the way he is..." etc. He hasn't "contributed " anything. Except bitterness and anger at AW and anyone who says something that he doesn't agree with. For those of us who enjoy AW and the community, we are asskissers in eeps eyes."

And he's got posters on the wall Of all the girls he wish she was, and he means everything to her. Her boyfriend, he dont know, Anything, about her... She's just the flavor of the week.

don't diss 100000-those aren't 200000, yet they're much older then you can
fathom.. -- J B E L L http://platinum.awjbell.com G O I N G P L A T I N U M [View Quote] wingFeb 9, 2001, 12:34am
Oops, 2.5 was the answer to #25 on my homework. Cit is 1.5 years old, I was
tourist for another good year and a half. That's 3 years. Hardly a newbie if you add tourist and cit. Anyway, age is not what makes a newbie a newbie. If you know your way around and can fend for yourself, you're not a newbie. -- Wing This little spot is dedicated to my girl, Jessie.

If anyone cares, my cit # is 92986 and I've been using AW since 1995

In response to your first post: People who are not confident in what they're
posting SHOULDN'T post at all in a newsgroup. Because if it's not Eep, it will be another. And if you really have that low of self esteem, you need some help. :) If you're not confident enough to defend every word you're typing (like you are, btw), then you shouldn't post. Period. :) In response to the second one: Personally, he's helped me. He's helped me to better formulate my ideas when posting. His AW page does help you get a sense of AW from another perspective. And technically, he is a genius that's willing to share it to someone who can "prove" themselves to him. Cocky? yes. Informative however? still yes. :) Nornny [View Quote] carolannFeb 9, 2001, 7:35pm
This is a serious question..asked because of me "newbie" status in this
newsgroup...If I am truly wanting to ask a question to which I don't know the answer...what better place to ask than where many knowledgable users can see it? It can't be a self esteem issue-I would already be telling you I don't know something. There would be nothing to defend. Feeling the need to "prove" myself before I can ask it or be answered would be showing low self esteem..and also a catch22 to the extreme. I'm not sure if I believe completly the saying "The only stupid questions are the ones not asked" but I think it might fit in the above scenario. [View Quote] |
