PMSummer, THS808 won't see this, but perhaps you can share on your buddy list, but at what point do you guys look in the mirror and reassess, and say "wow, maybe I could have handled that better"? I'm not saying you are totally to blame, you're not, but there doesn't seem to be ANY accountability. You weren't blocked because you were the "new people". I'm going to speculate and say you were blocked because you came in hot. You guys are really going to step into a forum that has been flourishing for 15 FUCKING YEARS, and blame everyone else, and, like in THS808's case, then brag about it to others (and continue to double down on his behavior as if he had no part in the shitstorm) and expect that to stick? There are PLENTY of people who joined in recent years and were welcomed with open arms because they were humble, asked questions, and got to know everyone before pointing fingers and making accusations like they owned the place.
And you know what the beautiful thing is, there's not one person here - including me - that will hold as grudge or hold it against you if you do find the rhythm and meet halfway on the effort to fit in.
