Why do people post rude and negative comments especially to people who are new to this? Just because a person has been on here 7+ years doesn't give them the right to be rude. (I'm sure I will get a lot of negative responses here)

It's not just people who are new to this. In fact, if I post a particularly naive comment somewhere, people tend to flame me, too.

Life isn't all sunshine and roses. Maybe you'd like to go where the rainbows and ponies play?

Why do people with only one or two posts think that an appropriate way to introduce themselves to the rest of GC is by making blanket accusations of rudeness and negativity? And why are the people who make these blanket accusations of rudeness so often rude themselves?
