The biggest "problem," if you can call it that, is some of the more arrogant newbies that come in here and think they can do whatever they want, without spending some time getting a feel for the "culture" here. They push buttons, they push limits, and eventually it comes to a head with much drama. In the end it's a tempest in a teapot and the newbie in question "learns their place" or leaves.
I must confess that I am one of the "newbies" and I really enjoy this site and love reading all the posts from every person. I probably post too much and I know some of it is blathering and sometimes off topic too. Maybe that means I don't know my place here yet. But, I have a lot of time on my hands because I am retired now and have my new bike.
I promise to keep my posts down to the bare minimum and be more of a lurker in the underbelly of the forum for a while.
I remember moving into a house that we had bought in 1979 and meeting the neighbor guy next door on the same day. He made it a big point to tell me that he had bought his house way back in 1954 when it was brand new. He also told me that every single family that had lived in my house (before me) had been a lot of trouble. He then layed down some of his basic neighborhood rules for me and said that he actually owned 20 feet of my backyard. I had it surveyed and I actualy owned a small part of his yard. He and his family turned out to be the worse neighbors I have ever had.
