I could have sworn I saw something thenewgreen said regarding you taking some sort of official position with the site.

Regarding point 3, correct. Entirely correct. But I wasn't at all referring to the kerfuffle you referenced, more your apparent general disdain for the initial confused kicking of new users. Combine that with your established internet pedigree and it generates a certain perception. 'Suffer not fools to post/communicate(with me).'

Yes, there should be a barrier to entry that stops shitposting and users with, as you said, no intent of integration, adaptation or patience. But those people will self-select out rather quickly, by nature of the site. I'm interested in making it easier/faster to recognize diamonds in the rough.
