I never was elitist, it's just stupid and unnecessary in my eyes. If someone makes a stupid post I'll call them out for it but i won't exactly go "HERP STUPID 09'ER LRN2POST"

I have personally never suffered from join date elitism luckily :smug:
who fucking cares? if you're focusing on join dates, you're probably just as big of a shitposter as the guy you're being a dick to

This. Also your avatar is hypnotic.
[QUOTE=PeanutTHENINJA;22385468]No, but my avatar is fun to make people instant rage.
Only reason I keep it.[/QUOTE]
i never thought your avatar was rage-inducing.
there are ones 100X unintentionally rage-inducing
Lol funny how this thread bought it back
Nope
[QUOTE=mzathemind;22388159]You are an 09'er with a lolcat avatar, and you think an anime girl is better than a real woman with a real vagina. Thats like saying "nah I'd rather jack off for the remainder of my life"[/QUOTE]

I wish i had signed up '06 when i found facepunch
Join date elitism is stupid. Why does it matter when a person joins? It's like age elitism - "hurr I'm better than you because I was born before you".
you aren't a real facepuncher unless you've been permabanned more than once

It's just retarded.[/QUOTE]
That's a very stereotypical failed attempt at argumentation. You attack the imagined person of the one having a contradictory opinion. You cannot construct a real ad hominem because there's no one here whose beliefs would actually be strong enough for your purposes. You need something that provokes your hostility, but no one yet does. Not to mention that it'd be considered offensive, and it'd undermine your argument.
This imagined counter-arguer of yours obviously has the worst possible qualities you can give it. Because you have no character of your own, you're afraid of giving the imaginary person whom you see hostile any either, fearing it would trample over yours.
You divide people into two groups: the dumb and the smart. You see yourself as belonging in the latter, and those whose opinions differ from yours in the former. This is reflected in how the imagined person you're quoting speaks like an idiot. And how you call his actions retarded. Should it not be obvious to all that they're retarded when you purposedly make them so?
You may argue that you're not calling the [i]imaginary person[/i] retarded, but rather all the people who're retarded enough to discriminate others based on some digital number. But this is easily proven to be false with a little thought experiment: suppose that the imaginary person was in fact a real professor, with real opinions, and a well-formulated argument. You most certainly wouldn't call him retarded. That's because of his character. You may call him misinformed, distanced and elitist, but not retarded. Unless you also have some authority issues.
The conclusion is that you have no argument. You base your post on the negative qualities of an imaginary character because you dislike join date elitism but are unable to explain to even yourself why you do so. In fact, the argument "wasted more time on it than you" sounds such a classical comeback from the mouth of an YouTube commenter - and that's a quote coming directly from your keyboard - that I have reason to believe that you're merely in some kind of denial, and angry because you're (pure speculation about how you might think) nothing more than a dirty 09er.
I'd say October 06 - October 07 was when Join date elitism was at its worst. Now it's only douche bags who are J-D-Elitists.
[QUOTE=bepassley;22385388]06 was the best year :smug:[/QUOTE]
shhh Farnsworth.
I joined this year and I post 6.9 times a day just so people won't bitch about me. :ohdear:

Quality over Quantity. Though I really shouldn't say that because mines around 8ish.

Yeah. Usually join dates aren't really responded to.
Dang 08'ers
06'ers rock.
I HAD a 07 account, but it got perma'd.
I had an '08 account, but I almost didn't post in '08, so nobody discriminated me
Answer to OP's question in short: Nope
I barely see any examples of join date elitism. Perhaps it's to do with the types of thread I usually read.

tl;dr - "dirty 09er"
Now i gotta find my 08 acc
So wait...Join Date Elitisim/Descrimination is basically a bunch of nerds joining together saying we're stupid because we aren't as big as nerds as they are?
Wow...I never looked at it that way :/

There's also someone I see sometimes who's an 04'er, but around a month ago one appeared out of the blue somewhere that had been lurking for ages.
