WHy were you so mean to dragonl? It was a legitamate question. That rection only serves to alienate people who came here looking for a place to talk Sliders. Please don't be so mean to those kinds of people in the future, and pay a visit to Green_Modus's posts if you haven't alredy.

Okay, you know what? I'm more than a little insulted that you even had to ask why I went off on the clueless newbie. It's ALWAYS been my position to drill a little reality into these people. Bear in mind, I will only do this to questions that have been asked a million times, such as the question I replied to as well as the "What happened to JOC and COC?" question. Honestly, STRIKE OUT ON YOUR OWN FOR TWO MINUTES AND LOOK IT UP BEFORE ASKING.

And please, don't give me the crap about having a happy, shiny little community. I've been here for over two years. I'm so tired of people who, as soon as dissention sits in (as it does periodically), we get goof offs like you who plead for a bit of sanity, as if we aren't capable of returning to order without [ALL READ] notes. Get a grip. Green_Modus... who the hell is that? I barely even post on this board any more because the people that actually have something to say are gone. I've decided to focus more on my website, EARTHPRIME.COM, than post here. Why? Because there's SIMPLY NOTHING TO TALK ABOUT. That's why angry people are so prevalent. Notice how fed up TemporalFlux is? Well, I do. You know why? I do. You want to know why? Email me. And that means you'll have to actually find the email address.

You're so self-important. This is a BBoard. Don't dictate my behavior. I don't dictate yours.

Why look for your e-mail when *YOU* could put that check on the side
that lets people e-mail you right off the bat! You say *Look up stuff*, But you could save the trouble with just a *Click* away.
No need to be mean! Bet you would not acted like this if it happened
to you! What if you could not look up the info on the net? HUH???
Then you get flamed for asking a qestion you did not know was
asked already? Please, it's not our fault you get pissed off so easily.

Right...

There. I've included my email.

Now, you expect me to believe the following:

A person who can access the World Wide Web, and have enough knowledge of the Sci-Fi Channel's web site, including its location and how to create a member name and post to this bulletin board, also, at the very same time, doesn't have the ability to go to a major search engine, type in "sliders" and have a look around? You've got to be kidding me.

But then, no one seems to think it's easier to search for the information yourself than to create a member name and post a question and wait for reply than to click back a few pages and get the same question and answer...

You really can't blame him...

everything he has said is true.

This board has become little more than flame wars,"I LOVE JERRY AND SLIDERS SUCKS WITHOUT HIM" bullshit,and "what happened to the o'connells" crap.Every day,post after post of the same verbal feces is crapped onto this board.
Every day,we start with the obligatory "Save Sliders" post.
Then,we get an "I am leaving if you all don't become nicer" postings.After that,we have some "Where is Jerry",and a little "I"m glad Sliders is dead.".
After that,we round out the posting day with some "SIY Sucked",then we have more flames.

It's sickening!!!!!

And SpaceTime is completely right about the idiots who come here and ask where the old cast members are.
When I first came around,I didn't ask where the o'connells were...I had the intelligence to look for the answers.
I think it says something about the intelligence quotient of the people on this board when they can barely type a coherent sentence and don't have the brain power to look up the answer to the question they ask on their own!!!
What the hell happened!!!!
Where are these so-called "humans" brains!!!!!!!

This place is like a friggin train wreck...you don't want tomlook at it...but you just want to see what kind of twisted carnage comes along next.
Gah!!!!You people sicken and disgust me!

SpaceTime--Thank you for..

..flaming me. It was VERy mature of you. Really. I was just saying when someone who IS a fan comes here wanting to know something, we shouldn't go off on them because we are only making them feel bad and alienating them from this board and the show. Now you have a tantrum on me. I can see no further reason to waste my time being civil to one such as you.

You're welcome, buffyboy

I wouldn't personally consider it a flame, but since you've already agreed to abandon your high and mighty principle of tolerance and not act civil to me, well, whatever. Life is too short to get beat up over whether or not you like me.

But you know I'm right. Try and dispute my logic.

Because what you're saying is that I should continuously coddle new people here with explicit and detailed answers even though they're not only available on web sites around the WWW, they're available ALL OVER THIS BULLETIN BOARD. You're also saying that these people shouldn't be chastised for their laziness in avoiding the research on their own. How stupid is that?

Explain.

SpaceTime

No, I'm saying you shouldn't...

..be so mean to them when they come here. If you don't want to give them an answer, then why reply with some nasty message? I think that is a little strange. It's not really a good indicator that you're a good person (which from what you've shown here, you aren't) when you do that. I only requesyed that you be a bit softer on real fans of the show, but it seems you can't even take that without having a hissy.
