I’m sorry, I just have to ask*

*And I realise that not [b]all[/b] new posters do this, but…

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

In a way it’s like coming into a new town and immediately [b]mooning[/b] 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):

[quote]"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.[/quote]

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

Just something I’ve been wondering about.

I always wonder how many of the truly outrageous posts by "new" people are just from alt accounts.

But if so, then those users are making it tougher for truly new people who might find themselves instantly blocked simply by virtue of having the "new" tag.
@DrWatson That is entirely possible, too.
