I've noticed the worst arguements I get into are when I correct/say a counterpoint against someone's statement, and it turns out they've been in the fandom for a good few years, and consequently flip their lid because they think you're treating them as a newbie. orz Which admittedly I sometimes am, it's how the majority of these situations happen so I default into newbie-mode.（／. ＼） People who see themselves as veterans are much more sensitive about being corrected, I must try to take extra care not to offend people in the future.

Someone once thought Luka was the first English Vocaloid, so of course I assumed they were new, and went 'Ah, I see you're new, let me introduce you to the other English Vocaloids ( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ' or something like that and even took the time to explain about derivatives commonly mistaken for Vocaloids for good measure (I went a bit overboard, I think it's all the wikia editing that does it, haha), which of course came across as totally obnoxious to them, who had apparently been around for years. I guess they just missed that information. orz Then they said they wanted to brick me. It did not go well. (╹- ╹;)
