I think it is completely out of order for 'older' members of the AB to castigate a new member for frequent posts, advising her to 'get an idea of how the site works'.
How the site works is - it's a democracy, anyone can post anything they want, about anything they want, as often as they want, within Site Rules.
Anyone who is not interested is free to ignore any threads - they do not have carte blanche to dictate how anyone posts at any time, and that goes double for new AB'ers who could easily be put of by such arrogant and uncalled for responses.
I really hope the latest new member is not put off by the utterly unwarranted hostility she has received, and she will understand that such behaviour does not reflect to attitudes or responses of the majority of people on here.
Those involved are keen to point out the youth of the new member - in which case they should be old enough to have learned some tolerance and some manners, and maturity to exercise both on a site like this, which is free for everyone, and not their personal kingdon.

calmck - // There have been some new posters these last couple of days and some question as to wether they are one and the same person given the topics in the postings //
Really?
I honestly never consider that there are secret cabals, or multiple posters, or who might be returning from a ban under another name, or any of that stuff.
Maybe I'm missing out - but honestly, I don't think so.

// Try posting an opinion in the science section that opposes the scientific model. Chances are it’ll be zapped by the ‘quality controller’. //
When was the last time you actually tried to post anything in the Science section? A while, I think, since you're on self-imposed exile, but it's unwise to make assumptions that you know what will happen to anything you post in that section.
