99.9% of new people coming in here are polite ask nicely and are treated well. then we get a few trolls that sets peoples dander up, and we have had more than a few "make me like it" demands. and I direct your attention *with tail wags* to my post here

I know when I am new to any forum I take lessons from the dogs at the puppy park; no matter how big you are or what your reputation is, be polite, wag your tail, lick freely, nod your head and offer to play nicely. snarl and snap and you'll get what you deserve
