Her response makes sense if you make the assumption that she thinks that she is important enough that all of us should have taken note of her arrival and therefore should know that she is inexperienced.
Which is retarded as all hell, but, makes sense in a very stupid way.
I mean: I am back from being gone for a while, and am not sure what is going on all of the time.
You said 'Are you new here?', to which I replied 'No shit, Sherlock'. :P
do you know how that expression actually works? because your reply makes no sense.
By asking 'Are you new here?' he's either A, making an insult as to my awareness of [chat] or B, stating the obvious (since I am new here). I thought B was a funnier possibility, so I replied with 'No shit, Sherlock', mostly because I like quick responses to have alliteration.
I really don't think you've been reading the right fiction then, feral.
Well, you could suggest fiction for me to read, however I think my statement is universally true. By the very nature of fiction, any wisdom to be imparted is going to be surrounded by the trappings of plot and character. While I find plot and narrative enjoyable in an artistic sense, I do not find them life-changing.

we don't usually speak in code here .
anyway since I'll take it to mean you are new, welcome.
Passerbye, look. Chat moves fast and people go in and out, most people probably haven't noticed you yet, so if they ask if you are new, they are being *gasp* genuine.
It's not like there was a newsletter sent out announcing your new-ness.

Ok, I guess I am just confused because I didn't actually think that you were new.
Technically I've been here for, I dunno, maybe a month. I'd still consider that new, considering all the little quirks in personality and insiders' jokes I don't know yet, but I suppose my 'newness' is really up to you guys.
But fiction is often based on elements of non fiction. To assume all non fiction is written by someone who is disconnected from a truth is... i dunno, bad?

Oh my dog. I figured he was being genuine, thus stating the obvious. You want to make drama out of it, go off by your own damn self for it. I'm tired of idiots ragging on me, especially when I was being innocuous.

Maybe I'm a simpleton but one of the things fiction does well (especially with genres like science-fiction) is isolate a single idea to talk about. Things are rarely as easy in real life as they are when you get to set the rules. I like that about books.

non fiction is going to be a narrative or memoir type thing then. It's going to be one person's experiences as they've viewed them. Running with Scissors and David Sedaris' works, while non fiction, are far from life changing experiences. Non fiction writing can be very bad.
Like the Namesake. The people in the story aren't real, but it's a compelling story about isolation from your homeland and family. My mom, who has had similar experiences, related to it on a very deep level. I just read Pet Milk, a brilliant short story about love that can't last is fiction, but it was one of the most believable and sensual descriptions of love I've read. None of these are real, but writers, fiction or not, still write what they know.

Just stretch your legs. Just make non-sequiturs. Just contribute to the conversations, or say what you want, and don't ... be wary.
EDIT: See, see what MikeMan is doing? He loves you. Go play with him.
See, I would have been all, "Hey, bitch, it's Passerbye"
N-1 for even N
N-1 + ceiling N/2 for odd N?
Does that even work?
