I've seen a few posts that have been new info to me today. Those particular posts had comments about it being old news. Berating the poster. Basically trying to make the OP look or feel stupid. Just because you know info doesn't mean everyone else does. Posts move along quickly and are easily missed. I'm on here several times a day and i miss tons of posts. Sure, if it's incorrect lets fix that, hell that can even be done politely. If you know, don't be an ass, just move on.
Perhaps this is the new liberal shill tactic! Make posters feel stupid so they fear posting again. Seems like a libtard thing to do. Damn we need more golden rule in the world!
I'll step off my soap box now. Cue libtard attacks....
That's not what I am talking about. There are commenters who are blasting someone who wrote an original post.
Are you talking about what OP said or just saying in general? Because writing an "original post" about something 3 weeks old with no new information or insight or commentary is something that needs to be pushed back on. If you mean that someone can write something actually original and get a handful of people chuck shit at it well, yeah, that's the internet and "free speech" for you isn't it? Not everyone's going to think your or my OP was very good.
