You're quite right, it's a little bit foolish to jump straight in with your opinions without doing a bit of lurking. But some of the abuse dished out in response goes way beyond what is proportionate (pretty mild in this case but there are plenty of times where people have been told they should leave the forum etc. in the past). Better off muting or letting the person know they've got the tone wrong I think. But then, I'm a newbie 🤷♂️
I don't mean to criticise anyone in particular. Just want people to think about why it is they respond in this way and whether that response is justified. "It's always been this way" or "it happened to me" are not good reasons to continue doing something.
