When I first joined this community I wasn't aware of how deep the sub forum really is. I noticed that everyone was very kind and I really felt that people were more interested helping others than in any online bullying. I was accepted without any question and it was comforting to me because I was still just new to the world of crypto. I saw the forums as a safe haven and in many ways it was. I think the most important quality of a good bitcointalker is respect for others and non-condescension. There was no need to do anything special for me to be accepted, and I never ran into anyone that I felt offended or intimidated by. The community is so large and the sub forums so diverse that I never felt out of place.
