I really feel sorry for genuinely new babblers. People posing as new babblers have led to people feeling hurt by it, and so the environment is tenser, less welcoming.
I myself am not feeling trusting or open to new posters at Social because of what has happened, and I haven't even been here so much to be that involved in what has gone on lately. But I don't feel inclined to take new posters at face value.
I guess I'm confessing here: I am not feeling like I can engage with new people and I feel pretty darn guilty of being so suspicious of each new poster.
But, paranoid though my suspicions might be, I do see stylistic similarites that worry me.
