At one point one of the players came over and asked us we'd like to join. We were pretty shy about it, being beginners, but they couldn't have been nicer, and didn't beat us up any worse than they had to, and gave us pointers, and invited us to join their group anytime we wanted.

That's what you are more likely to encounter than the jerks. Really. You'll be fine.
