???, the question about tattooing over scars, and a bit about me

Hi! Plus two things, well, maybe three...

1. I'm new in here - as of yesterday actually. Does anyone
consistently talk about body art or mods? There are a lot of insults
flying around, and I'm trying to figure out whether it's an "inside"
joke between members, or simply the internal culture of this group.
And no, I'm not being sarcastic or facetious. I honestly want to know
if this community is a good "fit" for sharing a common interest in
body art/mods.

2. Someone had asked about tattooing over scars. I have seen it done
and have had my own surgery scars tattooed over. It hurts noticeably
more, but besides that I haven't seen or heard of any ill effects.

3. As for me: I have about 30% total body coverage at the moment, and
am currently working on a lower leg "sleeve." (Why can't they come up
with a more suitable name for full leg coverage? In fact, does anyone
know of one?) Kind of lost my interest in piercing, and only kept my
belly ring and nose screw, as well as letting my ears rest at a more
reasonable (for work) 000 gauge. I belonged to the BME community years
ago, but the internal politics (along with the general direction of
the group) began to make me uncomfortable, so I drifted away. No hard
feelings mind you - and as always, I wish them well. Everyone has to
choose their own path.

So... that's about it for me. Hope to hear back from someone. (And
thanks for taking the time to read this.)

So, did you hear back from anyone?

RAB is a great place. Enjoy your stay.

It is... at least once we've chased the trolls away (or at least a
particularly lame one who has a penchant for harassing newbies with
sh/h/it's bullshit), LOL!

I was called a troll over on misc.fitness.weights. My main detractor
has since faded away. People come and people go. Kavvy is a longtime
participant in this newsgroup. Is he on my Christmas card list? No,
but I don't usually send those things.

Anyway, I'm not fond of the t word. I much prefer "jerk" for those who
tend to annoy. Ymmv. Not too crazy about "we've" either. Where is your
army? :D

Who are you?

I've seen many web pages of current and former RABbits. I've met a few
of the current and former RABbits. My memory is, however, what I'd
call toast and so I don't remember seeing you post here before. I do
share your opinion that some have a "penchant for harassing newbies
with" assorted nonsense. Regardless, I'd like to know more about you.

You have a profile somewhere?

This is me: http://curtjames.com/

Welcome to RAB. :)

Thanks for the kind words -- and we do have one thing in common, a love
of two-wheeled motorized vehicles. :-)

Um, who the fuck are you again? I've yet to see anything germane or
interesting from you, Tell me about yourself and your mods.

Well, who the FUCK are YOU?

Obviously someone with very little manners...

Yeah, if you look at the archives here,
you can see that this group was/is populated
by a bunch of very unhelpful folks, who just
shit on people no matter if the question was
reasonable or not (i.e., the Queen of Farts and
Bungholes).

However, even that gets boring, and also
drives people away, and the low activity here clearly shows that.

I'm hoping a new generation of cooler
people will populate this NG.
it looks like

Geez, man, I asked nicely and got squat. You think vinegar will work

Ho ho! THIS from the RABbit who seems to rely on "Box up your computer
and send it back." as fifty percent of his post count. Thank you, mr.
germane or interesting.

Oh, he has manners. It helps to be standing in front of him, however.
I got a free poster. And his wife is a sweetheart. Him? Often a
curmudgeon and at times an asshole. Like most people, right?

Aw, not that. Plonkers. Sheesh. Take it back! What's the fun of
disagreeing if you have no one to disagree with?
