Bring that up with B_I_T_B because I'm not opposed to new users.

It is not that I am closed to new users. Or even younger ones. I have a problem with people strutting their stuff, acting like they are the king of these places, when people are too scared to put them in their place. Even older users, like [edited] annoy me, because they are too arrogant and I don't see why people like them.

Every time you point a finger at someone else, there are four pointing back at you. tongue I'm not going to put up with personal attacks on this thread under the guise of "showing what's wrong so we can fix it".

confused I'm naming examples. They aren't personal attacks. you cannot expect everyone to like each other. There is such a thing as reality. And in reality, everyone does not like everyone else. And the last comment in the quotation marks doesn't even make sense. I'm not asking to fix that, I'm telling the truth. This place would be WORSE if everything was perfect. Perfection is unattainable.

Send them a PM. Tell them what about them annoys you in a calm and friendly way. Trust me. It helps a lot.

Someone, since it seems I am no longer allowed to mention people in particular, is no longer active, and the others should be aware of what annoys me and if they don't then I don't wish to waste my time.

It's not a waste of time if they are bothering you.

It doesn't change anything. If you can't tell what it is from my posts, then me telling you straight is an insult to your intelligence. Besides, everyone should have at least SOMEONE who they can stay angry at. Its healthy.

Anyway, I have tried. I did this (which believe me, this is my biggest pet peeve)

I tried my method with TheClodfather, and it worked out fine. Some users just don't understand the difference between healthy criticism and flaming.

Every user I've tried it on so far either has not replied, or replied in the same manner

The admins can nominate 4 or 5 people every month to be allowed onto this "V.I.P" Board, that seems fair

No , even if that would happen the admins would get their fair share of complaints and soon they will have to discontinue those priviledges to make things equal for everyone again.
