I'm New Goth Girl Here
My name is Darkemostar, I'm really depressed at home. My grandfather died when I was 3 months old. As soon as my older cousin graduates high school he's joining the Navy. I've already had some what of a hard time here. That was given to me by Vindicatedxjin she actually hurt my feelings, she called me a "Tiny Child" a "Troll" and she said "Who are you? Go introduce yourself properly in the introductions thread."I asked Why should I it's not in the rules! "Because no one is ever going to see you as anything other than a troll, unless you introduce yourself like a civilized person...now... Chop chop.... "
I thought that was verry mean of her to say to me if you guys think that was mean please leave a comment of how mean that was of her to say that to a new goth.

It's considered proper forum edicate to introduce one's self prior to stating your opinion or comment on other topics, That being said vixen was poking fun at you. If that little string of insults gets under your skin that bad you may not like it here. In any event you may check this thread again and in doing so please answer the following questions and your breach of decorum will be forgiven.
1. what do you do? (Hobbies, job)
2. Where are you from?
3. Who is your favorite author?
4. What are your favorite films?
5. What music do you want played at your wedding?
6. At your funeral?
7. This IS a gothic website, so... how do you want to die?
8. What kind of casket would you want?
9. What's your FAVORITE outfit?
10. What's one thing you miss about being a little kid?
11. What's your favorite band?

You're skin may not be thick enough for this site, m'dear. It tends to heat up here. Good luck if you decide to stay, best wishes if not.

Grow an extra thick skin, comes in handy.

Darkemostar: choose your words carefully, with forethought, and use your best grammar, that way you will earn some respect because you will have laid the groundwork for accurate communications.
Next, choose what you communicate with forethought, for words are the dress of thought* and choose your topics with consideration for the audience you address, after all this is a public place and everyone's impression of you will depend on what you write.
The best way to consider your audience is to first look around before posting anything; read the current threads, and get a feel for the major players in the forums.
Then, after watching the sharks swim about and their feeding habits you can decide if you still want to jump in or not.
Be brave, but be smart and plan ahead, think ahead and review your post carefully before committing your words to eternity. This is not advice to suck up to the other members, but to be able to articulate your opinions well and be able to defend them successfully.
If you can do all of that as I advise, you will have earned respect, and then the real fun begins! The fun of dissecting our own thoughts and what they are based on, and perhaps even changing our opinions, of growing intelligent, and the fun of learning about new authors, new philosophies and new genres, new music and best of all new friends, the sweetest of all Epicurean delights.
