Yeah, that was me.  Assuming you're not someone's alt account and haven't been here longer than it appears, you'll realize that noobs ARE the problem. 

Check out the Bitcoin Discussion, Altcoin Discussion, or Economics sections and see how many idiotic nonsense posts are being made, and take note of the rank of the members making them.

Check out how many merit threads are being made in Meta, usually by relatively new members.  These are veiled attempts to earn merit, because they think that if a merit source or an older member with merits to give agrees with them, they'll merit the post.

Sorry you took offense to what I said, but I stand by my "redundant" comment.  The first point in your thread was something hilariousandco had just suggested, which makes me think you either don't read or were basically paraphrasing what he wrote for your own benefit.  Maybe I've gotten too cynical here, but I suspect that if you're a member here long enough you'll get that way too.
