Sorry... while I empathize with your concerns I think that's way, way too broad and an insult to the so-called "elite". It ignores that fact that we old-timers tend to complain about specific types, not "newbies" in general. Very specifically, the aggressive, hostile types who spit in the face of anyone who dares try to inject calm and reason into a rant. It happens far too frequently. I feel like "no good deed goes unpunished" is the rule lately.

There are two or more sides to any situation. It's easy to slam an "elite"... much more difficult to try seeing a situation through the eyes of another.

I'll try harder to look through yours, though.
