Sorry but that does come off a bit patronizing and snobbish - sending
everyone who can't jibe to Tigers or Candlestick. Its like saying anyone
who can't loop shouldn't sail Maui.

Not to sound too patronizing, but if you can't jibe, Third is a hell of a
place to learn. You might want to consider nailing them before going out
to Third too much. It's a great way to get tired and be dragged downwind
requiring third party intervention.
In contrast, Flying Tigers and Candlestick are great places to learn to
jibe.
