I think a happy medium is best.

something like: "That white stuff is actually radioactive alien sperm. your beer couldn't be more screwed...... actually yeast are wierd little creatures. It is best not to look at them."

Here is an actual. critique me please.

Oh yes. I guess you think that alien sperm is pretty funny? Sicko

I think Cheese needs his own forum. Sandwiched somewhere between drunken mumblings and Psycho Babble.

Wait, there's no Psycho Babble forum you say? Hmm, that's the problem!

There is. It was renamed the debate forum.

I find that a little self-banter sometimes jump-starts a cardiac arrested thread.

after all this nicey nicey talk, a little nonsensical tom foolery was NECESSARY.

Please stay on topic.

So, to remove alien sperm from your beer:

My 2 cents:

I've been to a few boards where folks actually get together to enjoy their hobby. 1st meet I thought there was going to be a fist fight, and everyone just loved everyone else???? I was trippin! Folks that said the most incredibly nasty things to each other on the board were all chummy in real life. Sure we can miss the implied meaning behind the words, but there was no mistaking outright hatred. Were they just cowards behind the keyboard or was there some other deeper issue?

I found that completely bizarre! I was taught "words mean things" but I guess when it comes to the INTERNET that doesn't apply.

1st time I was called an @sshole in print, I couldn't believe it! I read it over & over & over. Nasty forums are the norm, HBT is the exception. :rockin:

That said, the OP has a point but needs to chill alittle & I love Yooper.

 

[TimpanogosSlim]

I've seen better and worse.

Specifically, audiokarma.org is nicer*, and the somethingawful forums are a pretty good benchmark for awful.

*(unless you start talking about removing the outer housing of a Walsh driver and looking at the surprisingly mundane bits inside - then the cult of the strohbean will start howling in protest)

I've only been brewing for about 18 months now. I've been lurking around these forums for about 17.5 of those 18 months and I have learned more than I could place a dollar value on. These forums are great! I consider this place to be the single greatest resource for just about anything about brewing just about anything. I always search first and as a result, I have never felt the need to post a question...which is maybe why my "post count" is low. Or, I'm just a lurker. But, in "lurking", I have seen the same questions posted lots of times. So, I can definately understand frustrations by veteran members over the same ole' questions.

The other side, however, is that I wonder if some dude or dudette with a billion posts is gonna look at my low post count and dismiss me as a know nothing newbie who shouldn't post their opinion yet. But, as I grew extremely bored with reading this thread, I realized that I was being ridiculous and I should grow a thicker skin. Heck, I have a thick skin...I'm a 19 year veteran in the Navy for crying out loud. I'm civil! I'm smart! I'm posting! Starting now with this soap-box-confessions-of-a-low-post-count-member post!

I'll man the beginners forum. I don't mind. I know a lot of the answers to those questions now. Except for the stupid ones from people who don't know how to search. Who wants to answer those? Crap! I'm falling into the trap.

As an aside, I wonder when the last time a question was posted in the beginners section that was new and not previously answered. Hmmmm....

 

[TyTanium]

...I'm a 19 year...

whew, that was close. Thought you were gonna say 19 year old. We've had a few of those here. Always a good time.

In other news, I enjoyed your post. (And, 19 years, wow...thank you)

We need a "kiss" emoticon. But a dancing banana will have to do.

You know, that's a great way to look at it. Sometimes answering someone else's question is fun, especially if I actually know the answer!

I felt intimidated for a long time by anything except the beginner's forum, because I was afraid I'd be wrong. But you know what? Sometimes I'm wrong and if so, someone else will gently correct me. But I try to give advice that is correct, or at least would help, if I can!

Psh, they gently correct you. When they correct me, I can feel the scorn seeping through my monitor! Time to add another layer to my tinfoil hat to help protect me.

AAAAAAAAAmen


My favorite is when people write a paragraph (or two) ripping you a new one for being wrong, yet they cannot take even one sentence to correct you or explain WHY you are wrong... Those are the most helpful people...

 

[MisterTipsy]

I don't mind being wrong on the internet. It will happen one day. I'm prepared.

Well maybe if you weren't such a jerkface all the time, people wouldn't be so scornful towards you.

 

[Darwin18]

First of all, this forum is a tremendous source of information for new and experienced homebrewers. Every one of us started out completely new and had to learn everything - either the hard way or through posts and information on this forum. I would not be where I am today as a homebrewer without this site. It is fantastic.

That being said, it is ridiculous at times the amount of hand holding people want. I'm all for asking questions and learning but it seems like more and more people want their hands held and to be reassured through the internet that their beer is OK. That's crap to me. Part of homebrewing is making mistakes and learning from them. I don't have a problem with the repetitive questions because they're common and the search function isn't completely obvious.

The worst is when people ask for help, receive advice, and then outright dismiss it.

 

[homebrewdad]

You may have a point, there.

 

[CBXBob]

There's a search function? Where?

 

[TyTanium]

Yes.

 

[bob1852]

[BrewKnurd]

Yes.

so do I type "search function" in that box to learn about the search function? I'm confused.

 

[TyTanium]

No, unfortunately it's pretty limited to learning about Google's customs.

 

[Proboscidea]

so do I type "search function" in that box to learn about the search function? I'm confused.

No, you don't understand. You have to go to Post #199 in this thread. That's where the search is.

Then I think you click anywhere within the red circle, and it will show you exactly what you want to know. You don't have to type anything, unless you're wearing a tinfoil hat, which prevents the googles from reading your mind.

Oh, sweet! Thanks. Maybe we should put post 199 on the homepage! Sticky?

I can only wish I had begun home brewing at 19. But, back then I probably would've tried to brew Bud Light or Zima or some other crap brew not worth the time or effort.

Like homebrew, we get better with age! Right?

 

[bob1852]

I like 4902 much better than 199.

 

[CBXBob]

Thanks, now I know where the search function is, where's the logout?

 

[Shooter]

You sir, are showing your veteran status!!

Zima. Oh, dear God. I remember sneaking that stuff into my house to hide it from mom and dad when I was sixteen.

It was awful, but it wasn't Bud Light (even then, I just didn't care for the typical BMC). But, it was awful... I drank probably four of them, total?

Thanks for the bad memories.

That somehow sounds so wrong.lol.
