Yeah, we should first learn to speak their language, earn proper citizenship, and assimilate ourselves into their culture before posting a bunch of threads.
^ this. I was thinking the same thing.

Yeah, lots of bitterness among those posts. They had a small, private place where everybody knew everybody else's name. We messed it up.
I don't see "acceptance" coming any time soon.

Actually, I think they've been particularly helpful in trying to get the RWOLers set up. Are a couple of people taking jabs? Sure. But any forum would have done the same thing if 200 new people showed up and started literally dozens of threads on being a "refugee" from another forum blah blah.
It's not a big deal. In fact, it's good to be able to laugh at stuff like this. Don't take it personally.
Acceptance is irrelevant. Coexistence like respect, is earned.
Hilary, I do not care make it a symbol if you want just change it.

Probably harmless...but it makes me think about what we all would have done or felt like if the BF (the spam-free old BF) had been invaded by a few hundred new people. I actually thought to myself the other day that everyone is describing it as a "migration" but the RA regulars probably see it more as an "invasion."

Yeah, I agree that it probably does seem like an invasion to them. Its ok. I won't take it personal. I was just saying I don't do well with mockery. That's all.

What's shakin' bacon; wanna dance?
Haribo.
It's like a bunch of high school kids who have had their clique invaded. Who needs the drama?
Yes, please.
I just posted in that thread to put their minds at ease.

I think we just found more of our kind here.
