Newbies.
A word frequently uttered by the oldbies.
My friend, Beanie54, recently joined Whyville. Some people (like me) were very nice and helpful to beanie, but others... they were a different story!!
We were all newbies once, which is one of the reasons why I was so surprised at all of the Whyvillians calling beanie names and telling her she was ugly.
Lets face it -- face parts are expensive for new Whyvillians to afford, so naturally they aren't going to have the best parts. We all know this, so why have people been calling beanie "dumb, cheap newbie" and "ugly newbie", and those are some of the politer things said? And, I'm sure other new Whyvillians have and are being treated the same way by certain older Whyvillians.
Also, let's take in the fact that Whyville is/was a place where we could have fun while LEARNING. It's not just about whom has the best face with the most expensive parts.
So please, be nice to new Whyvillians, and show them that we are good people! And let any mean comments about their looks only stay in your brain, not in your fingers and through the keyboard!!!
That's iqgirl signing off...
