When should you be considered a newbie basher?

[Yushal]

I'm a newbie at this game, pretty much, and I'm getting my brains bashed in in multiple games atm. No big deal.

I would rather have a game I am outclassed in than no game at all. I dont really mind if I never get any better at it either. If it stops being fun, I will find something else to do.

I would be ashamed if someone treated me like a child learning to play chess, letting me "do good". Besides, if someone really wants to become a good player, that would be counter-productive for them.

I dont think anyone needs to worry over being labelled as a 'newbie basher' unless they are rubbbing salt in the poor guy's wounds or taunting him overmuch. If a guy asks for a game and you feel like it, then play. That's all it is, a game, after all.
