If someone is disagreeing with you, it might be helpful to present a compromise that meets the desires (at least partially) of both. Like say, additions to the help file that give some of the most basic behavioral stuff you are looking for, but not removing the need to talk to current cabal members and learn from them. Having every village text available to people at level 1 might not be in the best interest of roleplay, but a help file addition that outlines some of the basics and suggests speaking to current members, etc. might satisfy both sides.

It doesn't always have to be either, or. (I read an article about this recently and have been trying to be more... compromising about things)
