As you'll notice in a later post, an introduction is required in the Introductions thread, easy peasy. But you failed a very simple instruction that everyone else has complied with. Failure to follow instructions in a team environment can get you, or your teammates, seriously injured if not killed. So your cursory inspection of the rules was either a failure of the brain housing group to comprehend what the moderators of this site require or deliberate indifference; neither of which are tolerated here ... for good reason. This isn't facebook, or snapchat, or any of the other social media feeds that provoke frenzy among the thoughtless. I've found it to be a site where brothers of a common background can converse and consult each other about issues confronting the Special Forces community. It also serves as a locus to focus the inquisitive minds, bent on earning the Green Beret, on information that will serve them well as they strive to qualify for that coveted badge of distinction.
Make no mistake about it, this site welcomes those who seek knowedge and/or camaraderie, but it does not suffer fools. What you perceived as a personal attack was far from that. I would liken it to the impatience of one of my team sergeants when I failed to grasp what was so obvious to everybody else. Otherwise, they could have just booted you from this site, but instead have attempted to prod you in the right direction.
Well, that's enough "'splaining" from me ....
