You were complaining about how certain new users are going to affect the community, and I pointed out that it's perfectly normal.

We can get all convoluted about the definitions for whatever word you deem to be important to your correctness, but it won't change my initial point.

Your complaints are akin to a parent lamenting that their cute little baby will someday turn into a full grown adult who is not nearly as cute.

That's just how it works. Rather than complaining about a perfectly normal process, you should instead be wondering how the user and the community can both benefit from the growth.

Furthermore, it seems to me that simply throwing out a list the way you did is a bit antithetical to the supposed deeper discussions this site is supposed to have.
