Dear Poet, it's not that people think they have a 'lock on SI because they joined four years ago'. It's that Poet-cum-latelies shouldn't claim this thread to be 'our' thread and invite long time residents to leave so that their left-handed golf grippers and they can post vulgar, aggressive, unpleasant and self-indulgent rot day after day. <I get tired of people who believe they have a lock on SI because they joined four years ago instead of two. That's the kind of country club mentality I abhore [sic]. > Of course you owe me no gratitude! We had no contract for anything and you owe me nothing. Not even good manners by the look of it. You launched into a personal attack on me which was most unladylike and unpoetic too. It also breached the 1689 Bill of Rights. To whit [notice the correct spelling of abhor] "I, A.B., do swear that I do from my heart abhor, detest and abjure as impious and heretical this damnable doctrine and position, that princes excommunicated or deprived by the Pope or any authority of the see of Rome may be deposed or murdered by their subjects or any other whatsoever. And I do declare that no foreign prince, person, prelate, state or potentate hath or ought to have any jurisdiction, power, superiority, pre-eminence or authority, ecclesiastical or spiritual, within this realm. So help me God." That means YOU Poet. constitution.org Now, let's get this happy little stream of consciousness back on track. Complying with the Bill of Rights preferably. Happily, Mqurice PS: Spelling abhore like that is worse than a wonky apostrophe and suggests that you are in fact a guy, since guy's have low verbal skills. Even if they are Poet's.
