Maybe they think there are members who are just waiting to sting a new member like a angry wasp.
Perhaps they think there are members who will jump to assumptions about their intent,gender, and personal life.
Perhaps they think folk might discuss these assumptions rather than discussing the actual topic in question and they don't want the attention.
Perhaps they think if they write a comment that doesn't fit into certain members 'bubbles' they'll be challenged and if they hold their own, reinforcements in the form of other members (angry wasps) might also jump in and overwhelm them.
I've seen some of the things listed and I'm amazed that the offenders feel justified in attacking new(er) members somehow rationalising to themselves that their not bullying new(er) members but that their actually doing some sort of service for the site.
And the best thing is those members who take part in these bullying activities assume that the new(er) members don't have a life,when in most cases it's those members themselves that spend all day sat playing with toy train sets,on the internet etc and never really get out.

Well, I wonder who those members could be? I also wonder why such a rant as yours would come from such a well established and stable member as yourself? I know you did accuse one member in particular, in several of your other posts but, a whole wasps nest of members? Surely not?
I also noticed you attempting to join in these actions you claim to be so terrible, (perhaps hoping to gain some kudos from other members?) on a certain religious thread and had to have an image you put on removed (It seems the mods thought it unworthy even for this nasty little site and it's members), now as everyone knows I'm not attempting to get a reaction from you but some how whilst reading the above one of your favourite words attempted to cross my mind, (it wasn't travelling very fast so I was able to read it and here it is).
