I agree partly with you. CCC is sometimes not the best place for newcomers. Espically newcomers with "thin skin"..For most part, people are gentle to newcomers. But if the newcomer refuses to listen , eventually things will get ugly. But if the newcomer is humble and willing to learn, I don't think there is a problem. I suspect part of the reason for the ocasional negative post, is because CCC is inherently a hostile place. IMHO as a result of frequent flames and arguments, some regulars are so used to a combative style of posting , they occasionally can't restrain themselves from treating newcomers like another regular, and this can lead to very "rude" postings. It's just the way things are here. If you don't like it, you can leave. But if you ask me, you should stick around..
