I’m sorry, I just have to ask*

*And I realise that not all new posters do this, but…

When you come to a site as a new person, and you basically introduce yourself by saying something rude, what response are you expecting ?

In a way it’s like coming into a new town and immediately mooning the residents. What do you see resulting from that ?

One of my favorite posts here about this, from a friend, sums up what we occasionally see (thanks @uncalled4):

"Why introduce yourself? Ain't nobody got time for that. Just do a psychotic verbal drive by." I mean, these people fling open the door like Kramer on Seinfeld.

Then later we see them upset and announcing that they’re leaving, because "nobody’s friendly here."

Just something I’ve been wondering about.

Some have an attitude to keep a safe distance from getting hurt. It will push many people away though especially if it's the first impression we get from someone.

I was very warm and open when I joined as I respect "your place"
@Queendragonfly and thats why we all like you and its both our places now
@Queendragonfly Yes, you’ve been very cool. That’s why I was careful to acknowledge that not everyone does that.
The ones who do are pretty hilarious, though.
