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.

Noa,
you are right on. And it's not just new babblers that get the short end of the stick. I am much less trusting about who is really new, and who is a renamee. I am not good about picking up on stylistic identifiers unless they are REALLY obvious, so I have a hard time believing that a new name on the board means a new babbler. However, I also understand and fully support a change of name for safety reasons.My solution is just to stay out of social for the most part. Although I have slipped in occasionally, I was in Urban Guerilla wear with night goggles, so I got away unhurt.
Take care, Noa,
The same old....
