I've followed TBD since 2007 and last year decided to join. I'm not a social media expert, nor do I want to be. I've made about 50 something comments in 1 year+. My first comment when I joined was I would never start a post and to please be kind to me if I make a comment. This Niagara dude who's getting raked is why I said I'd never post 1st. I've seen the lampoons of other newbies, tough crowd to please. I get it, you don't want the site overrun with a new post for every new thought. Virgil, Shaw and formerly Bill from NYC are newspaper worthy of their insight, but they all started with a first post too. I give my thumbs up, Awesomes, beers cheers etc... the cynicism and humor of this board is one of a kind. I'm still sticking to my guns, will never start a post. Remember Buffalo is supposed to be the city of good neighbors, cut some slack to some of these posters trying to have their opinion heard. Go Bills!
