No, this is not a joke/trolling thread. We don't need more filler posts asking if it is. Remember to spoiler season 6 content, and clearly label your spoilers. | ||

To Aylear / Nub4ever / Soleron: I reviewed the original post but didn't see anything too in depth - on a second look-through I did see the link under a spoiler tag. Regardless though, I come from a very similar community thread (in the sense that it's more niche) being the gay SC2 players thread. If someone has a question about gay people, most people there do their best to answer the question or give a direct link to something of value rather than just stating "go figure it out yourself" . There are 9,000 posts in this thread and the original post is quite large and somewhat confusing to me. Rather than writing something condescending, maybe just post a link or "copy+paste" a good peice of info next time? If you're going to take the time to write something at all, wouldn't it go alot further towards being friendly to open-minded curious visitors to just present information? Why even bother posting in response to someone if it's just a dismisal of said visitor? I think some of you could learn a thing or two from the ponies. GMarshal: Thank you very much for the link that was awesome! Also, I should mention that I may be the 40tth person to ask questions in this thread, but each of those 40 people are unique individuals. If being an outsider to the majority has taught me anything in life, it's that patience and making the slightest effort to explain things to an individual who is politely asking questions goes a heck of a lot further towards mutual understanding than being rude and insinuating "you're not worth the effort" because so-and-so already asked 2 months ago. Human beings are not perfect, and neither are all vistiors going to be - don't expect everyone to catch every detail in the original post and not have follow-up questions. You posted a helpful link, but I doubt that it was necessary to vent your frustration on a respectful visitor. LittleJoeRambler: You took the time to write that synopsis of your interest in this genre and I thank you very much for it. That was incredibly enlightening and I can relate to the aspects regarding mythology and Tolkein. You inspired me and I'm going to attempt to watch the show while stoned to see if I can get anything more from it (and hopefully get past the areas where my attention wavers). Thanks again! Seems I'm able to wrap my mind around this genre with the new information. Thanks much everyone. | ||

Most of the time however, they seem to go to the last page and just post/rant/complain about Bronies in general. Although I do have to say, its considerably more... restrained and more civil in comparison to other reactions. What I meant was that "Jibba" message board on top... whatever that is called. The one that says: "No, this is not a joke/trolling thread. We don't need more filler posts asking if it is. - Jibba". I mean it is at the top and would be likely to be the first thing any newcomer/brony would read. | ||

Why even bother posting in response to someone if it's just a dismisal of said visitor? I think some of you could learn a thing or two from the ponies. If I appeared dismissive or condescending, then I apologize - that was not my intention. I myself have copy-pasted or even written detailed responses to like 8 people who were asking the same question: "I don't understand this; what do you see in it?", and others in the fandom have responded to just as many. It's the same answer every time... ...so we put them in the OP. It has nothing to do with dismissing a visitor, because dismissal would be "go away", not "the information you seek is readily available if you care enough to go looking for it by reading the first post." In other words, if you're on TL.net and you don't read the OP, expect to be called on it. =) But let me ask you something. In the gay SC players thread, you said you go out of your way to answer questions. How many of them are along the lines of "Why are you gay? I don't understand it at all. What do you see in being gay?" Because unless you're happy to put up with leading questions that puts the onus on the questioned to defend themselves, and you never get tired of them after 470 pages, it doesn't equate. What you did was basically start off with an argument from personal incredulity, i.e. "I can't understand that people would legitimately like this", and then you put the burden on us to respond specifically to you to show you that we actually do. Do you understand why people might find that annoying? Lastly, the phrase "I think some of you could learn a thing or two from the ponies" is an insulting passive-aggressive jab taken whilst sitting atop a high horse, and it doesn't impress me in the slightest. | ||

Dont start overexaggerating and spitting accusations just because someone told you to read the op. If you bothered to read past the first paragraph you would have realised your question was already answered. The OP is not confusing at all. | ||
