But I also see people post good, well-thought out messages, only to have them thrown back in their face because they're a "newbie". That's what bugs me.

I agree. It's sort of "poster profiling" gone mad.

And it is counter-productive to alienate anyone new who doesn't "toe the line". By branding them as DU disruptors and running them off or banning them, we kill our growth.

People who come here with different ideas need to be looked at as potential converts, not run off. Only a party destined to die rejects new members for being new.

It takes people awhile to come around to conservative philosophy who are new to it. We need to sell our ideas to them, not get ugly on them... Just MHO!
