Today is hug a newbie day

How new is newbie? There is potential here for abuse claims from people receiving unwanted advances who feel they have been around the block a bit.


I really do not feel this has been properly thought through.

And it's not terribly British, is it? This whole touchy-feely thing might be all right for the colonials but it still feels a little, well, 'dirty' [ref. recent frotter discussions]. Can't we just smile politely or nod and look away quickly? Perhaps with a small comment on the weather? A hug feels like quite a serious commitment.

Milan is just trying to be elitist.

Nice try, but rather clumsy.

And what about newbies that do not feel ready for physical contact from avatars they hardly know?
