harpuah posted:Personally, I think there should be more diversity in WNU. The whole place is set up like a preschool, and users are treated like fragile little children. That is hardly a constructive way to prepare new users for the rest of the forum. Perhaps creating more realistic and diverse threads would help with the "culture shock" people experience when they leave WNU. It's like reading nursery rhymes, and providing nap times to high schoolers in order to prepare them for college... you're setting them up to fail.

And if you don't feel that you have to do that sort of thing, then you don't need to: as long as you're articulate and a contributing poster, people will leave you alone. It's only when people say/do foolish things that people get snapped at. And remember: this is a public board, if you push your own views on others, they'll push back. If you don't want to be pushed, then just don't do either: and people will leave you alone.
