And wasn't he a super hero?

ETA: There was and here he is...

It's ok, I have never used the chat either. I read whatever thread takes my fancy, not because it has lots of flags, just because they have ATS friends that flag the threads for fun.

You are correct sir.
And this was his theme song:
"There's no need to fear! Underdog is here!
when criminals in this world appear
and break the laws that they should fear
and frighten all who see or hear
the cry goes up both far and near
for Underdog! Underdog! Underdog! Underdog!
speed of lightning, roar of thunder
fighting all who rob or plunder
Underdog. Underdog!
when in this world the headlines read
of those whose hearts are filled with greed
who rob and steal from those who need
to right this wrong with blinding speed
goes Underdog! Underdog! Underdog! Underdog!
speed of lightning, roar of thunder
fighting all who rob or plunder
Underdog. Underdog!"
Underdog Lyrics

Don't worry my friend. We all will use our judgment, at times even our closest of friends will upset or disappoint, as we do to our very own selves. It is a part of life and the reflection herein. Don't give up, because you've got a friends all around you.

If you look at some of the more intelligent members (not me) threads you will notice they often have threads with no comments or stars. Like in the political forums for example. But no Flags and no Stars doesnt mean people didnt read the thread.
And dont let people get you down. The slogan 'deny ignorance' is kinda arrogant and condescending. Its like the culture. Dont take it personal.

You're right. Unfortunately there seem to be a lot of people who are know-it-alls. And then lack courtesy because it's all online. But you're gonna
get that anywhere.
Don't let a few bad apples offend you. Even the top posters here..the ones with the gold borders around their posts, will get the same treatment from some. It isn't cause you're new. Some people are just asses. Just try to ignore them. And especially try not to let them influence your opinion of ATS.
This really is one of the best sites on the internet and the best in it's class by far. Just try to stick with it, and ignore the trolls. Or the ones who attack because you don't know as much as them. And I say that with all the intended sarcasm I could. You possibly might know more!
Hang in there. And you're right again...there are too many good threads that often go unnoticed while idiotic ones get massive flags. Just try your best to ignore the "bad ones" here. Their day will come.

you will learn soon enough that the star and flag system here at ATS as been a complete and utter failure. Find posters that post quality content and follow them is my best advice.
don't stop making threads because of a few people.
been hitting up the underdogs on here. The threads that don't have many flags or stars, they are turning out to be AWESOME and very cool, and smart! Doesn't have to be eight pages long, qoutes, or pictures to be great and get an important issue out there.

Funny enough when you say "their day will come", as conversely, my mother used to say, "every dog will have it's day" To the OP, Don't give up too soon.

BUT, if you need help with something, maybe you should say what the problem(s) is/are.
Asking for help, would probably prove to be more productive, than simply saying that people aren't very helpful.

The slogan of 'Deny Ignorance' is necessary. There is a reason that it has to be said. Sadly, it is still overlooked by many. Just look around. Even with that slogan written on every page, we are still surrounded by ignorance here.
Just try to imagine how much worse it would be, if that wasn't the slogan.

.....even the ones who say they will help you. Its like they do until they find out your not a scholar, and then its "I have to go" "Here's what you need help on, see ya" .......

Take heart. ATS is just like your everyday life in that you meet all kinds. Just let it roll off your back. I've met people on here that I really and truly have good friendships with and then there are those that well, I would rather not have had any knowledge of. I suspect that is true for everyone on here.
I personally could care less about grammer, sentence structure, spelling or whatnot. You put up a good thread, to the best of your abilities, and it's a subject that I can relate to I will engage you in conversation. I've had a lot of threads that do not get much attention and thats OK too. I don't put up threads for stars and flags, but to try to inform and perhaps get somone to think outside the box, engage in conversation and meaningful debate.
Rant about it, get it out of your system and then get back on the boards and do your thing! (Just don't forget your steel undies)

Everyone here can learn something. Attitude has quite a bit to do with that.
If you're closed off to accepting information foreign to you because the presentation or delivery of the information sucks, well, fault can be found on both sides, but, not everyone here is here to be anyone's friend.
It also comes down to maturity, not necessarily age. I'm talking about the level of maturity that allows one to disagree, argue, and be a total odds with another's opinion or outlook on something, yet, still remain civil, and even become fast friends with someone.
It's easy to be friends with people you agree with, people you like, people that have a similar level of intelligence, learning and understanding as yourself.
Going beyond that, and culturing friendship with someone you disagree with Is a level we should all strive towards.
Anyone can scrawl something on the bathroom wall, but, it takes a hero to poop on the ceiling.
This doesn't mean that topics that have been researched, organized, and put together with sophistication are any better or worse than the simple scrawls on the bathroom wall. There is, however, a certain level of respect that should be extended to those that do indeed take quite a bit of time in organizing a thorough topic post, regardless of whether you agree or disagree on the topic.
If it's important enough to post, it should be important enough to post properly, with sources, links, diagrams, and peripheral material.
