When people make fun of people who act like I did when I first came on the forums

Such as Chagen and Ukonviki.

It makes me uncomfortable.

    It's not like I'm going to respect someone less if I find out they grew out of a state of severe immaturity.

    Myrmidon,

    I feel similarly, but I would substitute "when people make fun of people" in for "when people make fun of people who act like I did when I first came on the forums" part. Making fun of other people just bothers me in general.

    Oh, so that's why you were so eager to defend Chagen.

    Personally, if a newbie acted as immature as I did, I become even more critical of them because I am intimately familiar with how stupid I used to be.

    I hate most people who act like me in general. So it all works out.

    Because you never know what you might see.
    This is partly why I am bothered a bit when anybody complains about Tongpu, Love Happiness or Savage Heathen.

    I see a lot of myself in Chagen and Love Happiness, so I try not to make fun of them.

    (Though I would gladly make fun of my past-self, given the chance)

    If you must eat a phoenix, boil it, do not roast it. This only encourages their mischievous habits.
    I do't think I act much differently.

    This is actually why I am uncomfortable around Radd: he reminds me of myself sometimes.

    You can change. You can.
    I haven't found a poster who is like me when I started. So...um...yeah.

    ^ What were you like when you started?

    I don't know...I'd say that I was too eager to be liked and my jokes were a bit too over the top (ALL CAPS and puns and stuff)

    And lots of typos and grammar fail. I'd actually say that posting in TvT helped my English. A lot.

    I don't think I've ever been consistent enough for people to remind me of my older days in the forum. Which doesn't mean I am not sometimes uncomfortable at the harsh treatment some younger posters get, but that's not the topic.

    Till shade is gone, till water is gone, into the Shadow with teeth bared, screaming defiance with the last breath, to spit in Sightblinder’s eye on the last Day.
    I don't remember how I acted when I first came to the fora.

    Thirding Chagen.

    Chagen reminds me of me in the past, but long before I joined TV Tropes.

    Me when I joined TV Tropes was...basically me now, except slightly less mature?
  • MillerCrossMillerCross

    ^ Me too. On both accounts, actually.
  • MadassAlexMadassAlex
    One foot in front of the other, every day.
    ^^ Me too, again. It's why he was so easy to troll during the whole "forum racist" thing. I knew exactly which buttons to push.

    Sorry, Chuggles. It was pretty awful to troll that consistently, but it was hella fun.

    I'm a damn twisted person
    Eh, personally I would say a newbie has about 1 month of regular posting as a free mulligan. Time to work out the rules(written and implied) of the forum, the cliques and the general feel. If they continue to act like a dumbass after that grace period, well too bad for them.

    I have this in reverse: I despise some of the alienated, forever-alone tropers because I fear becoming like them, though there's really not a logical reason why this would happen.
