ehm, reading this thread made me sad. A guy here makes a long, well thought piece of text, politely stating that he believes there is not much tolerance in tmo, and backs it up.

Some of us reply and disagree which is fine. But turning this thing around blaming newcomers for infuriating us and trying to rationalize our otherwise antisocial behaviour is sad. Saying that we should increase moderation and make new members jump through hoops to be accepted is recognizing that we indeed are intolerant and impolite but it's their fault and they should be banned.

I think that Dousan's message can only be used by keeping it in mind next time we post a reply and nothing else. If a poster makes you write something you believe you shouldn't be writing just hit that back button and leave. It's better to leave a new thread that has 4 duplicates die, and will give the OP more incentive to search than replying RTFM and cause flamewars. It will also leave the active topics list fast and info will not be unnecessarily spread.
