Has this thread seriously gone from laughing at an ignorant kid to giving him hugs and reassurances in less than 2 pages?
People are like dice, a certain Frenchman said that. You throw yourself in the direction of your own choosing. People are free because they can do that. Everyone's circumstances are different, but no matter how small the choice, at the very least, you can throw yourself. It's not chance or fate. It's the choice you made.
Don't worry about it too much I guess. My last post was just the first idea I got when I opened the topic. They can be annoying at times I suppose, but if you don't like it you could always not go there or go there when they wouldn't. If they say something from your army looks cool, it means you must be doing something right with your painting and can explain what you did to make them look that way if you want. Generally though they will probably be bored and walk off, but that means they won't be annoying you doesn't it
Generally how I've seen topics go is if the first couple of posts are kind of an attack the rest usually will be as well. But, no one has really taken this topic seriously at all so just don't worry about it But trolling is basically people doing this on purpose, so you can see how some people would react to a possible troll.
The models themselves are mass produced so being ruined will do nothing more than boosting sales of the SM leadi....
They must be burned.
Also for your images on page 1 put [img ] without the space at the front and [/ img] without the space in it at the end of the link to the picture.
I go agree with your sig though, they need to jump. But, like all annoying things ignoring them can work at times.
This thread is bad, and you should all feel bad about it.

Assuming you are serious and not being a troll or just making jokes on the internet you are not gonna find answers for what seems to be deep emotional issues on the web in general, and certainly not on DakkaDakka.
You need to seek out some form of counseling if you are as troubled by things as you suggest. Call an anonymous help line, go to a local priest(if thats your thing) or a school psychologist. Gamers on a web forum are not the answer to your distress...
Raging on Dakka will only get you banned.

While I think weve all been there & been annoyed by some younger kids who play, at the end of the day, you cant really blame them for their immaturity, because they are in fact 12. & In any case thats how most of us started. Wargaming is something you arent 'good' at overnight, it takes years to develop decent playing & painting skills, so you shouldnt mock beginners who you feel are inferior to you.
Its also a massive generalisation to say 'all' kids are like that, my younger brother is 12 & is capable of playing a decent game, & painting above tabletop standard. But thats only because when he was first starting out, I helped him, & he learnt faster.

Which is basically what this thread was made for. I think someone jumped to the quick chat box .
If people want a thread talking about how to teach da' grubs to paint and model I think that would be very appropriate to DakkaDakka. Statistically we should have at least a dozen or two teachers on here that could chime in and create a very productive thread.
If you are serious about what you "intended" a quick explanation about you being a bit moody or w/e would be in order. No one will hold it against you, as long as you avoid it in the future.
Rage hurtles through our blood system...we must avenge the death of our beloved leader...for the Emperor and Sanguinius! 
on the block? No it makes yah the dude who just smashed $30 worth of space marines with a hammer.
