You're Fired

Has any copywriter on here ever had the misfortune to hear the dreaded words "You're Fired"?

Just wondering. And yes, I AM a big Apprentice fan. Can't you tell?

    Dude. All the random threads. What on earth is the reason?

      I was quite taken aback by your comments, which seemed to smack of "Don't be posting too many messages here."

      Look, I'm sorry, but I didn't realise there was a thread limit on here. Also, I thought this forum was open to lively and open discussion. If it is, then why am I being shouted down for participating in just that?

    No one's shouting you down. There is no limit.

    This forum goes through flurries of activity here and there. It's just 1) not usually all the same person over the course of several hours, and 2) not usually the same kinds of questions in multiple threads without waiting for an answer.

    Asking "are we there yet?" 20 times doesn't make the trip take less time.

    We are more than willing to help. Enthusiasm is awesome. But let's discuss one thing at a time (with regards to your career aspirations), shall we?

      I don't know about that. My parents threw me out of the car for that ^ once. That was an early end to the trip for me.
