A person I know once got called to task by many GCers because she only had a few posts and some felt she had "no right" to get upset about a situation that was occuring. In fact, more attention was paid to how many posts she had than the merits of what she said. Isn't this an example of de facto elitism?

Thank you, I totally agree! I think it's petty and immature to judge someone by how many times they typed something rather than WHAT they're saying. Come on now, how many people here have at least 20 posts that say: "haha, that's right!", or "good post!" Where as someone new has something really interesting to say in their first one? You can't make generalizations in either case, there are good posts and stupid posts made by those with a large quantity, and the same goes for those with less! And you know what, as I've learned from experience, often the newcomer is the one who can see a situation most clearly, because they are able to view it without bias(conscious or unconscious)!!! So stick that in your...whatever, and smoke it! hahaha
And I say #4...for those who say I'm unqualified to have an opinion, well, you're allowed because, well, this is a forum for your opinions as well, and meanwhile I will just disregard it and continue to exercise MY right to post my own opinions.
