Exactly.

Behave like a decent grown-up and you'll be welcomed with open arms (I was).

Behave like a twat and youll either have the rough edges smoothed off VERY fast, or you'll piss off.

This newbie was egotistical, selfish, and rude.

In the space of a handfull of posts over a handfull of hours, he allienated people.

If he comes back and makes good account of himself, this will be forgotten and he will be "one of the gang".

If not, he'll be gone, and never know how good a group he missed out on by not hanging about.

It's like someone skateboards into the library and shouts at the top of their voice "hey library dudes, look at me I can ollie", and then wonders why everyone says "great kid - skatepark's out the back"
