That sentiment is bang on.

the problem I see with this forum is how many of us condone newbs when they come here with really stupid threads and questions that look like they were typed with their nose while the hands were feeding the dog. you can see plain as day that they aren't bright people. if you speak to them nicely they'll never learn and will continue to ask dumb questions and make stupid replies in other threads. If you just gave em the smackdown and said "come back when you've got some brains, idiot" maybe they'll finally start listening to that teacher and get some writing and social skills, and grow up better people. who knows, maybe they'll throw a tantrum and there'll be some entertainment value to be had.

I bet 20 years ago the kids weren't quite as stupid as the ones now, but in any case I don't want to frequent a forum where they run rampant, (which they will if we allow them to).


Yes i agree, being alittle firm is great, but dont you think that calling them an idiot/loser/stupid or worse (****/***), is alittle harsh? Someone has to learn, try teaching a baby by calling them stupid and yelling at em, you wouldnt, so why do it to noobs. Its the samething, the noobs, can be like our babies, and i think its up to us to teach them how things go around here.

Lastly, im also willing to bet 20 years ago, no, the kids back then werent as stupid. Main reason?
Back then the kids didnt have games like renegade/CS/Halo to sit around. No, those kids were out more, and thats how they got so smart, ever heard of street sense? thats how you get it, by being on the street.

Ask anyone 30+, they are going to call us stupid to our face, wether or not its because we are, im willing to bet it has something to do with the fact that most of the time all we do is sit on our ass, watch TV, play videogames or eat.

All in all, we need to teach everyone. Wether they are 35 or 5, everyone should be treated equal and shouldnt be judged by the expiriance they have with a computer.
