On the whole though, I find most people here are pretty accomodating of that fact.
I would however disagree with Tango in that General Chat is unfriendly, controlled and stifling in political correctness. I'd be interested in some examples. For sure, at times I can be a little fiesty :D and for someone who has issues with "authority" find General Chat very friendly and think the Mods do a pretty good job. Been on here over 2 yrs now and those thoughts have never crossed my mind. In terms of "cliche-iest" site, that I feel is only natural until one gets to know people and people get to know them. I would think that is pretty normal again in most circumstances. That said, I think if a "newbie" becomes too familiar to early, that can backfire. Bit like in our club, one may take the mickey out of a mate, if someone new or a guest did it....would be a different kettle of fish as the relationship hasnt developed yet.
I'm sure there a few people who may even think I am a troll at times :twisted:, but would hope on the whole that if I am debating somebody on a topic, I play the topic not the man. However if they come at me, well I am Taurean, you will get the horns :p.
