I don't like the term Xenophobe.  The 'phobe' part implies we're afraid of something.  What's the latin word for 'dislike'?

I think "phobe" might be also the latin term for dislike.

Wouldn't it be an interesting look at the mindset of the ancients if it were?

The term also implies that we don't like new people because they're new and different, rather than the fact that they often don't post anything of interest. There are several people here that have never received a hazing. And being a friend of a forum member doesn't have anything to do with it, as many forum member friends have been hazed.

I wasn't hazed--teased, but that's not the same thing. The secret is to lurk first and get a feel for the average post before you post.

Nah, the secret is to doorbell ditch fish.  Then you won't get hazed.   ;D

Cheese,

I apologize for missing your posts.  Because I didn't see them, and the responses, it appears I was negligent in my duty as Official Forum Newbie Defender.  So, let me retroactively say, shame on you all and be nicer to people.  (Plus, instead of mocking people, you could--you know--just point them toward the FAQ.  That's kind of the reason I wrote the thing.)

Ps--how'd you get back down to one post?  Did you do something odd to your profile?

I've been wondering all along where he posted that he needed to be remorseful for.  ???

I'm glad I'm not the only one who's confused.

MsFish, you and I often seem to be in the same boat around here.  :D

I'm confused too.

I thought the only newbies that got hazed were the ones who came in advertising, using horrible grammar, or leet speak.

I don't remember getting hazed.  Then again, I think I joined when there were all of 30 members.
