Thanks.

Bottom line: Forum membership has a "getting to know you" period, just like any other social venue.


It's Part of our evolutionary heritage. We are a tribal species. We may think that we have moved beyond tribalism but today we simply exist as members of several, inter-linking, tribes (family, school, friends, sport teams, sport team fans, co-workers, political parties, nations, message board regulars, etc, etc). Part of that tribal heritage is an inate suspicion of the outsider.
