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've no real idea why some seem determined to do that - it's probably a "Hey,look at me,here I am" gesture - the sort of thing that cuts no ice with me.
I like the post that you quote - "fling open the door like Kramer" - that's great,and pretty much sums it up.
@craig7 Yes, [b]that[/b] had me cracking up laughing. 😄
