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.
storageanddisposal answered Tuesday July 20 2004, 11:26 pm: Hey, MFS has rage similar to mine. Coincidence? Yeah, some of them can be pretty rude. Fortunately, due to the crappiness of my computer, I never have to read these rude comments. My computer automatically freezes and I have to restart it if I'm on longer than a few minutes. And "asshats", that's hilarious. Good one. [ storageanddisposal's advice column | Ask storageanddisposal A Question ]

FernGully answered Tuesday July 20 2004, 10:43 pm: I'm over it Jen. WAY OVER IT. Pssscht.
I'll kick, ban you if you call me a bitch, ANYONE.
Just have a little internet breather when you get in there, relax and wait. If no one comes and you don't want to wait any longer, then just leave. It doesn't make us want to help you if you call us names and curse the site. [ FernGully's advice column | Ask FernGully A Question ]
