You do know I don't hate you, rather vice versa, I try to help any newcomer.
As Dmitry said, your point of view is slightly biased. Try not to engage into argument with everyone, and try to do some analyze: a newcomer is a foreigner to our team. A guest. Who is always received nice at first. Later, if the guest behaves good, he's benefitting his staying. If the guest tries to set some new orders, demand something or anything else - he might get a negative perception.
I'm not saying you're doing something wrong, just try to be more friendly. Those people spent quite some time, some even a few years in the project, in our team, and, believe me, they know something. It doesn't give them, or me, or anyone else to treat a newcomer as a lower-world person of course! Just for the time being they gained some experience in other areas which they would even be glad to share with you.
What I want you to be sure about: newcomers, especially as valuable as developers are received very good and welcomely. Then, it all depends on a particular person, his social abilities, and interaction with other members of our team. Which is, in general, very friendly (how else could we work for so many years and not ran away?! ;)).
WBR, Aleksey Bragin.

Hello all,
Open-source and newcomers
P.P.S. Before posting a reply, please take a look inside you and try to see if that reply is based on "I just hate this guy!" :)
Thanks!
