I'm not all that concerned. I mean, there are noobs, and there are new users. I've befriended a lot of new users in the MKD section. But noobs, they're a different story.

My philosophy is to correct, not flame. I mean, if someone insults you, aren't you going to be inclined to do the exact opposite just to spite him? I come from a family that can never stop arguing, and I have a basic idea of what's going through the other person's head during a flamewar. Honestly, are you listening to the other person who's swearing at you, or are you just waiting for your turn to speak?

They may arrive as noobs, but an example can go a long way. I've see drastic changes in behavior in a lot of users who I thought were doomed upon entry. I guess I'm a dreamer.

I've been at other MK forums for quite a while now. But I'm a noob here.

We've all been noobs at one time or another.
