    As a rude person, why are we not allowed to be rude, but others are allowed to post stupid/moronic questions??

    The difference being they don't know their questions are stupid/moronic, you however know you are rude.

    The old adage "if you have nothing nice to say, say nothing" works well I find.

    Maybe people post moronic questions because they have to think so much about what they are writing incase of unnecessary criticism, negative or childish replies that they end up posting a moronic question due to sheer nervousness.

    You people who do nothing but post negativity mainly because you have 'been here the longest' or whatever really do need to get a grip.

  • Ask a stupid question / Make a stupid comment.

    Get laughed and scorned at for it.

    Deal with the laughter like a man. Learn from mistakes

    No more being laughed/scorned at.

    Become one of the laughing oldies scorning the newbies.

    It's the circle of life - deal with it.

    I'm an 'oldie'. Just have a new profile having not been on for a while so am now a 'newbie'. Why laugh? Why scorn? Its not a playground.
