OWF in Isolation?

I just have to say I really detest how most members on these forums react to new comers. A lot of people come here as Oddworld had a huge impact on their lives, with no new games to play they eventually find themselves here.
I myself joined OWF a year and a half ago, but I was flamed very harshly for god knows what so I gave up on OWF. About three months ago I came back out of my unshakable love for Oddworld and joined W@RF v. 6

Sense my return to these forums I've seen new comers come to these forums with their same love of Oddworld and be completely flamed for their honest questions. Some post in the wrong places, some double post not knowing where the edit button is, and many don't have the best grammar.
Rather then help out, many OWF members(mostly older ones) flame these new members for their tiny mistakes. Surely this isn't how to treat new members, shouldn't the Oddworld community help out one another?

I'm just saying I find most members reactions to new comers to be too harsh, shouldn't they have more leeway for their mistakes?

Stay Odd.
