Thanks for the input.
It's been a long time since most of us have been called a newbie, it's good to get a fresh perspective on things...
I don't want to explain away what happens here. That really doesn't matter. The important part is your reaction. I'd hate to lose potentially great members leave because they think they're entering a hostile place.
I imagine it's a little like walking into a bar just as a fight breaks out. It might be a wonderful bar, but I ain't that thirsty.
Maybe you're right. Maybe we do need to come up with a way of dealing with assclowns that's more newbie-friendly. I know if I wandered into this place and the next day watched a "fellow newbie" get trampled, I probably wouldn't return.
Fortunately, you stuck around...
