    There may be some similarities between this premise and real situations, such as the true story I told earlier, but this thread is obviously a hypothetical as there isn't anyone who is actually incapable of giving quality advice in a welcoming or friendly way. That's just silly.

    Do you have any more smart passive aggressive comments to ruin my otherwise great thread? I kindly ask you to satiate your vagina's need for drama elsewhere

    If successful people keep posting, that's better for the forum, but if successful people would stop being assholes, that's better for the world. Also: "I don't need to help these guys so I'm going to be an asshole when I do" is pretty terrible logic. Being a good poker player shouldn't excuse you from being shitty to people, but it certainly makes it more tolerable in a trade off kind of way. Ldo learning poker is 20x more important than people being nice in this environment.

    I'd imagine this thread exists because new members have been complaining to admins etc, and been put off. Traffic is obviously a concern, but so is is quality - so this presents quite a dilemma for the running of FTR.

    Edit: just saw Bikes' semi explanation. Why not just be open about what you actually mean for those of us who don't tune in regularly for the bitchy drama side of things.
