Some recent users (like myself, if two months is considered a short amount) in here actually enjoy this place, and it would be counterproductive and wrong to immediately dismiss every relatively controversial take because of the age of their account. Obviously if they come in flinging shit that's something else, but unless that's the case take into account they're just a new user.

I'm not saying this in response to any struggle sesh and more as a thing to take into account from this point onwards as more recently created accs have come in and started stirring shit, and people will (reasonably) lose trust in them.

It is abit frustrating. It seems like every time I engage with a new account, they get banned within the next couple of days. I'm fine with disagreeing with people, what actually annoys me is when they do the old set up a strawman and knock it down bit. I mean, it's amusing insofar as I don't actually have to think of a response since they aren't even able to articulate a coherent response that doesn't completely misrepresent what I have said, but getting rid of them so quickly is also pretty boring.
