yeah, that's exactly my point, we have to let EVERYBODY in!
every scene i was ever a part of, RL and on-line, had me at
some point depending on a senior member showing me the ropes,
offering insight and correcting my mistakes. it doesn't matter
if we're talking about any kind of freestyle sport, or behaviour
in on-line communities, or gaming, or pen and paper rpg circles,
or the intricacies of a collectible card game or even fucking
pokeymanz. what we all should have is an open and friendly attitude,
a willingness to share our knowledge and a kind spirit.
pseudo-elitism and "out with the horseZ kiddies" slogans will get
us nowhere, quite the contrary!

edit: you see how i capitalized "everybody" ?
isn't that beautiful?
it means i'm right! i must be, because i put enough
thought into my argument to capitalize the most important one of
my points, and we all know the only people that ever do that are the ones
who're right. right?
