Are these the forum rules?

I've been here for a few years and thought I knew pretty much.

Now some people are complaining about putting a link in a post to an eBook that could help another poster.

Is that right?

I thought we should help each other and share.

Sometimes I feel uncomfortable posting here because somebody might jump down your back for no apparent reason, and that doesn't seem to make sense.

Ah yes ... and then there are the arrogant blowhards - pompous asses who come blowing into the forum and spout their bs while trying to impress the newbies, but can't fathom why it is that long-time Warriors who love this forum and care about their fellow members point out the scum when they see it enter (wow, that's one of my longer sentences.)

What these morons don't understand is that we've seen it all before, over and over; their act isn't new, it's just rehashed crap that passes through the bowels of the forum and gets dumped in due time.

Usually what you'll see is these clowns come in, make a couple hundred post, alternately arrogant and useless, and then suddenly post a WSO! And as night follows day, usually the first reply to said WSO is from another newcomer to the forum, with only a few, if any, posts under their belt, praising the bs'er.

Of course, most of these sharpies have the good sense to TRY and be civil in their WSO, but a few just can't control their blowhard tendencies.

And now back to your regularly scheduled programming...

And then there are trolls who act as if they are a victim
of some non existent conspiracy and they get all defensive
when they get called out.

Trolls add no value whatsoever to the forum, in fact all
they do is suck energy away from everyone else with
their snide remarks and shit stirring crap.
