Chapper's, the level of our being "nasty" is usually proportional to the competance of the newb. Keep that in mind next time you want to start a new, pointless thread that could have so easily been posted in the goat thread.
In addition, part of being a LLaMa is avoiding tipping. By visiting the T&TT fora, you have broken this part of the committment.
Now, every LLaMa (well, most of them

) was a newb at one point. For instance, when I joined, I read the rules and so, by not violating them, there was no nastiness against me (until my yellow showed up, but that's a different story altogether

).
To sum it up for you, the LLaMas are firm but fair. Don't break the rules/go against the ethos, and you'll be fine and accepted. However, should you do something we don't like (i.e. T&TT forum) then you've lost our respect and you'll not be accepted.
