If your venue has limit, play that, and for the smallest stakes they offer. Not because the games are worth it (they're not) but because it's cheap, and you get to see what it's like, playing with live opponents and a live dealer you can see beyond a screen name and an avi. This will help you get over any nervousness over playing in an unfamiliar setting before you commit the serious money to the game.

"Yuck - making others comfortable only helps them"

Yes, it does help them...

...lose more to you. Poker is also about good PR, as much as good play and making good decisions. You don't want to piss off the other players.

Rec-fish come for entertainment, to have fun, and if they get lucky and come away with some extra walkin' around money, that's the cherry on top. Give them what they want: a fun atmosphere that will keep them at the table, not leaving because your lousy attitude makes their play less enjoyable.

Also consider disputes and how floor managers rule. Are they more likely to rule in favour of a congenial player, or an asshole? It's not just human nature to favour a nice guy over some jerk, it's also good business.
