I really don't see the problem, and how is one "bashed" on the internet? If we're talking about members of
cliques (you know who you are, suckers!) where one post might follow another to the tune of familiar agreement and clever/snide words about a new user... why, you can have hours of fun turning this on its head and poking these sad creatures with sticks!
My advice is to remember we're all the same geeks and nerds hiding behind computer screens, so if you spot a status quo then subvert it - why sign up to something open and allow other users to create their own equilibrium?
Characters on a flashing monitor can't hurt you.
