Q: Hi, this is MFS again.
If you come into the chat and people like myself, Jen, Fern, or Storage are in there, and we don't reply right away, it is likely because we aren't really there.  We log in but are away.  It happens.  Often, I'll set my name to say something like "MFS|notHere" or "MFS|work". If you see that, then likely I'm just logged in and lurking.
The reason I say this is to demonstrate what happens when really stupid and immature people come into the chat:

Keep in mind, I can and will ban you from the chat for stupidity like that.  We're not here to serve your every whim.  We're here to help IF WE CAN.  And hey, get this... some of us have LIVES.
Amazing.
Anyway, hardly anyone comes into the chat room - a few have, and we've had great conversations with them and even started to discuss a few issues.  This chatroom is for the people of this site, particularly the frequent columnists, to talk to each other, get to know each other, and make this site a better place for everyone.
People who use it as way to act like asshats are not helping anyone, especially not themselves.
