I absolutely agree with you on all of this. I'm not a fan of the reddit behavior. I was on reddit for years and barely ever participated in chat because of it. I came from reddit also. I have participated much more here than I ever did there. I learn a lot more here and most people are encouraging of that. We are all at a different place on this train. Not everyone is a seasoned veteran. Some of us are trying to catch up.

As for Ben, I agree on that also. He was entry level for me as I think he is for many people. I have moved on from him a while ago. My comment about an opportunity to educate was specifically about that. Why not let O.P. know exactly why they aren't a fan of Ben rather than make O.P. hesitant to post again. That's exactly why I hated reddit.
