Also, the most verbose newbie-bashers are nearly always those who were recently, or still are, newbies themselves. SC.com's forums have a long tradition of the slightly-less-newbie slinging handfuls of shit at the slightly-more-newbie. They seem to think that they are standing with us by opposing newbies, when they are usually being just as annoying, and sometimes even more so.
That said, skab and boinky have not simply made a faux pas that could be easily overlooked. As El Sucko pointed out, skab has made blunder after blunder... over-reacting to a mostly positive comment in RMDC, engaging in a campaign of multiple threads against dcomposed for this supposed insult, apologising incessantly for that until his apologies were almost as annoying as the offence, his insistence on getting the last word, and then his ridiculous contest... It may very well be the worst SC.com debut ever.
Then there's boinky, whoi is either terminally stupid or a deliberate troll. With the email username "TrollOrgy" I know which of the two my money is on. Boinky has, quite simply, embarked on a quest to post as many inane, pointless, and stupid posts to the forums as he possibly can, including a supposedly accidental triple-posting of a new thread advertising his webcomic which he had already advertised heavily in previous postings, and which it has been established stole most of its good jokes from Space Moose anyway.
Contrast this with others, now regs... Fuzzyman started off making a new RMDC thread for every new comic. He was asked not to. He stopped. He's now a well-liked fixture on the forums. Crabby adopted a silly schtick, started trolling, then realised he actually liked the place and started just being himself. Like fuzz, crabby is now a part of SC.com folklore, and his Crappy Comics thread is an unstoppable glacier.
Bloody hell, this is a long posting... I'll stop now.
