I agree with the original post. Sooooooooooo many posts could be delivered in a more supportive way than what a lot are.
The case for helping the newbies not get ripped off is a good thing. Without a doubt someone asks for an opinion, and one is given.
But
So many times when a newbie post a decent question or a common question what often occurs is a direct Slam to his question or his integrity. then all the brothers chime in like a fraternity group. egging each other on to top the next. I don't' make it up, its real. and instead of the high ranking members taking the issue seriously, they seem to love the drama.
I have seen some pretty naieve, and occasionally even downright dumb first posts here which have been responded to quite dismissively.
Who cares you might ask, it's dog eat dog out there.
Well, the owners of the site for one. Driving away new members would seem to go against their interests.
If you are short on patience and feel the need to be blunt then perhaps it's best to say nothing and get on with your trading.
What lessons are learned when a new member posts once, never to be seen again?
Civility is not a sign of weakness.

Example?
Actually, it's quite exceptional the amount of assistance people are provided here.Looks like we could be waiting a while for an example.
Here are 10 examples of questions from new entrants to the market and forum, and responses. All from the past few weeks. I think we are actually a pretty helpful bunch.

That reminds me of the 'Newbies, all your questions answered' thread, by SirO.You're right.

Exceptionally good assistance. As an exercise, check out the amount of information provided compared to the number of thank-you's happytown gets for doing the research, and providing it gratis.
I did say there wasn't really anything of that sort for the last month, so let's delve into threads more than a month ago.

Don't have the time to look back further at the moment, but I used to see more along those lines.
So, maybe there is one, or two, people here amongst the thousands that post who have been negative to newcomers.As I mentioned before, it's thanks to the mods that there's a low here. Notice how you (I think you're a moderator thanks to the fancy blue writing, I'm not sure) jumped right on it?
No one is claiming that *every* long time member is jumping on newbies and trashing them, just that there are a few occasions where people that should know better by now think it's OK to lash out at people.

I think Wayne was the originator of the 'muppet' call.
But, I don't think it was in regard to any other members here.
