Still fly

I've had this image of myself that may not be how others see me.

This week I was booted from a forum. I made my intro post, got a little negative feedback based on my age - I'm considered old as hell by some, but thought I would be alright. I joked around just a little, went to lunch and decided to check the new posts.

Nope.

I used my link, and got the "not one of us" page. I tried my password and got the message - Nope.

Rejection from an online forum isn't a big deal. I'm a happy member of http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/index.php? and http://www.playahata.com/hataforum/index.php?sid=231e77e5c662ab07411da00dd77d977dand I really joined the new forum only after curiously following a couple of links.

No, not a big deal, but rejection nonetheless. The positive that comes from this is the reminder to myself that no matter how fly I may think I am, there's somebody out there with a different opinion... and that I'm cool enough to be happy with that.
