I don't make this post to paint myself as a victim. I would however like to maybe make a point about new comers to this site, which this site may have many more new guests once Q becomes more mainstream.
I understand many of you here have followed this for years and know the whole story. Please don't forget how it can be difficult for new people waking up and finding themselves stumbling in the dark to find their way through the mass amount of info on this subject.
I understand due to the subject matter coms needed to be coded and not all could be said or easy to find. But coming to this site and getting the feeling that many here just want to fight and insult people or call them out as a troll or glowie instantly when they don't know as much as them is disconcerting.
I know it can feel frustrating dealing with people that get things wrong or havent spent the time you have getting to know the facts, I would ask to just keep in the back of your mind to try and be kind and welcoming to anyone on this site.
"First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win"
We are in phase #3, so subversion and division and distraction attempts are expected. Here, on the boards, all places.
My take is, as a new person admitting when you dont know something, haven't yet formed an informed position on some given topic, are working on scarce info, or largely guesswork etc then you come across more genuine as people making like they have the secret decoder ring that gives them some exclusive insight on some topic of relevance.. unless of course you come bearing gifts of tasty sauce.
Its a cultural thing, if you cant justify yourself to others if & when you are called on it, then perhaps you haven't yet understood the area sufficient to make the assertions you have. Its not a bad thing, all of us are learning here all the time.
Above all else welcome to everyone that is new and buckle up!
