Lets learn to accept those who were like us when we begun this great journey which now is such an integral part of our life quasi.
Admirable sentiments.
Philosophy aside : #1 You are right, this is just a list. #2 We all (and ones before us) have formulated some common code of conduct by which we abide (seemingly) on this list. #3 It is not too much to ask new comers to abide by these same rules.
Imagine what happens when a villager comes into a BEST bus and spits copious quantities of saliva + beetlenut juice under the seat...
When I begun this 'great journey' (sic), I too was new, naive and plain stupid. I too got scolded by seniors. I did'nt quit. I lived and I learned. If one has to part of a group (any group - real or virtual) one need to fit into that group and not expect the group to fit into you. If it is in you, you change the group -- after you are in it.
Just my one paise's worth. I seem to be in a minority here anyway so I will not push my point. This is a free country and this is a free list. What all want, goes. If someone dont like it - go someplace else, simple.
