I have observed over the last few days, and can clearly see that when someone new enters GAGB, there is frenzy to see who they are and what can they contribute.
I don't think that's true, generally. You yourself entered with a blitz of posts and revived some happily dying threads, which not surprisingly led to curiosity, but that's the exception, not the rule.

My main concern is that, even when a person enters in a calm manner, there is a instant panic mode set in place. Also, if I had had a disability, such as a psychiatric one, I would be labelled as trouble. This is something that should be address.
I see new posters enter all the time - I rarely see panic! If you had a psychiatric problem, then we wouldn't know about it unless it was evident from your posts, so there would be no reason to think you were trouble unless your posts were trouble.
