Most existing participants, especially those long standing members, will try to establish dominance over the 'new guy on the block'' by challenging most, if not all of their opinions. Some do this with a merciless brutality, whilst others, although more subtle, will, nevertheless go for the jugular. Also, the protagonists will use such aggressive activity to try to identify what the newbi is made of and whether they will be easily intimidated. It's the same in the proverbial jungle of life, most men will perceive new male members to the firm, the gym, the club, their local pub or wherever, as a threat until some sort of pecking order has been established.

I am assuming that I am NOT included in the "Most existing participants" that chews up newbies and spits them out.

Naw, not you Jolie, you're much too an intelligent, creative and fair minded person to get involved in such gutter snipe activities. I feel that you would consider everyone's angle on a topic and whilst not necessarily agreeing with their expressed sentiments, would pluck out whatever merit you felt they contained, thus becoming just that little bit more knowledgeable. Besides, I didn't mean to imply by my post that there were those bullies who do chew up newbies and spit them out, only that such resentful festering turds ''try'' to do this, but more often than not they discover that they have bitten off more than they can chew. ''Every dog will bark loudly in it's own yard'', or what it perceives as it's ''own yard'', but it's prudent to be certain to know what and/or whom your barking at.

Subjective comment will often try to undermine objective reasoning.

In any debate rational parties need resilience because there are trolls out there with destructive habits

This is probably how most communities work.

It is scary when someone new joins a Discussion Forum. The Newbie has to feel it out and decide if the Discussion Forum is to his/her liking. Of course, everyone has the dream that everyone will be nice, however, that's not reality.
