POLL: n00bs - Friend or Foe?

In reference to the (now locked) Adopt a Newbie Program thread:

In general, how do you react to the typical flaming/idiot/troll n00b? This is disregarding the few we get that actually show up and manage to fit right in, or admit their Newbieness and just quietly lurk for awhile.

I don't believe anytime in the near future people will be able to place "forum posting skills" on their resume. So, everyone that knows the forum posting ropes can get off their high horse.

There are good n00bs and bad n00bs.

There are cool regulars and asshat regulars.

Flame the bad and the asshats.


 
I believe in trial by fire. 1 flame is worth 100 rationally thought out pieces of advice. And the flame gets remembered longer.
