I just have to put this out there. I came from a board chock full of type A pilots. I'm reluctant in mentioning the site, but the bigger point is that, in reading through all the various boards/threads here, it's not just that everyone is helpful, witty, and helpful some more ...

It's more that I haven't picked up on the slightest bit of "better than you" attitude, or "you don't have 3 books like me so you're opinion isn't worth as much as mine."

It's SO freakin nice to have other's opinions be taken with the worth they are worth, rather than brutally dismantled, simply because they haven't "proven" themselves or they don't have xxxx words written yet.

It may be lurking, but it's no where NEAR as prevalant as it was at my last watering hole.

Thank you to ALL who contribute and make this what it is. I like it here already!

Hi Nicc!

Glad you found your way over here. Over the years I've tried several, if not almost all, writer's boards. On one, the owner/moderator berated me for trying to stick up for myself when someone copped an attitude. Then deleted my posts, not the guy with the attitude. On two others, just like you experienced, many of the writers--even those not published--had attitudes (because they joined those boards first). And on another, fights regularly broke out and no one bothered to intervene.

I could go on and on, but when it comes down to the best boards--AW, hands down.

Welcome to a great place and make yourself at home. :)

I'm better than everyone, but I am secure enough in this that I don't feel the need to mention it... often.

Welcome to the Cooler, Nicc.

(Oh, and Veinglory is better than everyone else. We can't say at what in polite society, without involving jail time.)

(and farm animals)

Ha! We've fooled yet another newbie. ;)

Seriously, AW is a wonderful place for information, support, and advice. The one drawback is that you will find yourself spending far too much time here.:D

Welcome to the cooler.

There's a rumor we're getting close...
Good to have you. This place ain't perfect, and sometimes I'm part of the problem, but for the most part it has been a very useful, enjoyable experience. Like anything in life, you get out of it what you put into it, in both quality and quantity.
