I really dont think we needed another "fuck noobs if they wont put in the effort" post so soon after Spoons, but I guess imitation is flattery/etc. Someone else will probably think Spoons cool and do the same again in a week or two.

To clarify here since it didn't go over so well in that particular thread, my post was more part of my ongoing campaign to get more people into IRC and not so much of a "fuck the lazy bastards" type deal. It's soooo much easier to help most individuals there than here, and I know that I got at least 2-3 different newcomers to IRC through that thread, and so it was well worth it imho. The last thing I want to do is discourage someone from playing and coming here.
And for the rest of it, I don't want to hurt anybody's feelings so I'll refrain.
Edit: Actually, now that I think about it, I think redzilla would be a lot happier and a better contributor if he didn't try to be so "hardcore" about everything.
