I see you Storm, but if you want to teach someone to ride a bicycle, you don't throw them on the big boy bike and expect them to figure it out. The dude will crash and burn, probably fuck himself up a little, and there is no telling how many potentially good members we have lost because of that.
Get the newbies on the bike with training wheels first. Sure, they will be made fun of a little for being on the little pink bike with training wheels, but they're still ridin with us. And that's what's important. If he eventually decides, "yo, why the fuck am I riding this stupid thing to try and fit in with you clowns" then let him leave. But eventually someone will make it up to the big boy bike and our community will be better for it.
That's my analogy for the day.
