That may have been true initially, but I don't think that's much the case anymore.  We left TD because we weren't allowed to express exasperation, frustration, or practice tough love.

If anything, I think it's still habit right now.  People will warm back up out of nicey-nice mode sooner rather than later, newbies be damned.

I think it's also at least partly that there's less to flame, so we're all a little happier. We don't get eleven billion stupid questions and we've yet to have a single drive by pee stick (knock on wood), so we don't end up with days where people's tempers are short because we've spent the whole day dealing with idiots and assholes.

It's a little more zen over here, so when someone fucks up and they very quickly apologize for their mistakes, we're less inclined to flame them.

I totally get not flaming. But why the coddling and hair petting?

Yea, that I'm not sure of.
