From: Cocoanut Koala I personally think SL would be a LOT better off without people telling new players the environment would be better off without them.
Either directly, as in the post above, or more subtly.
To paraphrase an old saying, if you can't say something nice to a new player, don't say anything at all.
coco I never said it'd be better off without them, I gave suggestions to what he could do to find something interesting in SL, but that if he wasn't interested in the social or developmental side of SL, he might be better off in another game. Seems like fair advice to me, ala telling a person who isn't interested in catching or batting that they might not want to play baseball.

Just that you posted while Coco was adding her comment. At least that is what I gathered.
