As many people went ahead and answered the OP. The forum start page indicates that 124 members have visited the site in the past 24 hours; I have no idea how many of those were in the ~9 or so hours since this topic was started, but it seems reasonable to assume at least a couple dozen.
I think it's a bit of an overreaction to compare it to bullying.
"Personally, if you are a student, you are doing a sloppy job."
See number 2. http://shine.yahoo.com/parenting/5-signs...00647.html
Something Kayenneh has perhaps also fallen victim of "got butthurt when people pointed it out to you and asked you to introduce yourself.. Yeah, how rude of us!" Hardly constructive criticism, and I think my point has gone right over your head so I will repeat it again.
It seems much of the ill-feeling is based on highly misplaced intellectual snobbery. "As people who clearly pride themselves as not being of a religious bent, what does it say that you unite around a common cause of belittling the person who didn't engage in the 'rite' of introducing himself and asking the correct group leaders for permission?"
In my opinion it doesn't need every single person to take part in bullying to mean that 3 or 4 people have been deliberately hostile.
But yes I do accept that many people were extremely welcoming and offered constructive criticism and/or advice.
And again to hark back to the point on needing a thicker skin, I would refer you to Stewart Lee's stand up on "it's just a joke" before I begin to respond in kind and suggest you just need a thicker skin.
