Well, I would agree with you if our forum was not intended to discuss bitcoin and related topics. But when you look into the history of messages of such a newbie, then for a moment you forget what kind of forum you are on, since almost all of his messages about merit, statistics and social injustice to newcomers
(not to mention the fact that such conversations begin with the first message). Yes, a couple of his thoughts may seem reasonable to you and me, but I suggest not to forget the reason why we are all here. Please note that I am not throwing a
"stone in your garden" as I really appreciate your contribution to the mining section and much more, I just added my 2 cents.

Users at this point usually join the forum to earn money, merit is preventing them from earning that money. It's only natural for them to talk about it a lot. Although, when it comes to social injustice to newbies as you put it; I can't say that is isn't warranted to bring that up as an issue. Undoubtedly, certain users can be hostile, and while I can't blame them I usually like to give the benefit of the doubt before passing judgement.
However, talking about merit, and particularly complaining about it is one of the tell tale signs for account farmers. I don't think many
normal users would have much of a problem gaining merit over a period of time, only those with time restraints due to trying to rank up several accounts at once.
