At every junction in life, I am reminded of the ending to many a good story. ... Well, on internet forums. It usually involves the staff reminding... nay, urging the forum-base that converse with them "Should you ever feel apprehensive about speaking with me, for any reason, then I am not doing my job effectively. I am here to help you, and ensure you have a good time here."

There are people who are afraid of ducks looking at them. There are people who are afraid of dependence on others. I am afraid of people being afraid of me. I'm sure you can see where I'm going with this here. We all work together to form a community.
