Resentment? No. Never resentful about new perspectives and knowledge. However, I will be honest, a very small number of the refugees are not conforming very nicely and are being very vocal about their displeasure. There has been some name calling from the wis.dmers regarding the moderators of this site (twice now our moderators have been called Nazis and described violating a member’s mother) and some are taking issues at our guidelines and rules of behaviour. Maybe some of this hostility comes from joining a new community with new rules, or sadness at seeing wis.dm shuting down, who knows.
There is simply a lot of people who came in at once. As @EmpressPixie says, it’s easier to deal with a trickle of new users than a flood of new users.
That said, I am very confident that you guys and gals are in general a great group of folk. There have been some really interesting questions posted, and I’ve had interesting discussions with many of you already, and I hope to keep these discussions happening in the future.
I understand that change is difficult. The one thing we ask is that you, as we all do as well, abide by the guidelines and terms of this website. I welcome all new members with open arms, and if you have any questions, let us know. Here’s another thread (I know you’ve seen it, @Leanne1986) where some advice was being offered.
