'Xenophobe'
is usually a long-term discussion forum participant and
he thinks of the forum as his tree fort. Xenophobe regards
Newbies to his forum as mentally retarded and perhaps even
having criminal tendencies, and they are invariably approached
with suspicion and condescension. If a Newbie has the temerity
to make critical observations about the forum's social dynamics,
or questions prevailing opinion, Xenophobe will join with
his fellows and attempt to silence or drive out the newcomer.
