UT - Two things. One, you and I (and most people that have been here more than a few months) know that I was posting my guesses in a joking manner. I personally don't care what other people are doing.

Then he seemed to get bent out of shape, like there was no joking to be allowed - and there was no way he was going to share what was going on.

Which is fine, but how many people have we had come here and ask for something on their first post without offering anything back? How many of them are still here a month later?

I don't care about chains being yanked, because Christ knows I fuck around with people enough (see example earlier in thread). I fully expect that he's entirely serious. I won't offer advice because I've seen no indication whatsoever that this person is worthy of my time. If you had a question for me, no matter what the topic, I would do my best to answer it - because you've proven that you're here for the community and you're not just using it.

I don't mind someone asking a question on their first post, but when they exhibit a "my life is none of your business - BUT HELP ME OUT!" attitude, yeah... I'm far less likely to be friendly. What do I like about the Cellar? I like that everyone shares and is open. I don't see the usefulness in people that operate to the contrary.

And of course, I brought this all up, though he's the one that started with the insults. The audacity is typical of the immature young male when anonymity is guaranteed. He would have never escalated it in the same manner if we were standing face to face.

So, when you lump all this together... yeah, I don't think he's gonna be here in a year. Save us the fuckin' trouble and just hop off now.
