When it became clear that adefmay couldn't role with the punches there were quite a few sensitive comments with good advice and explanations for why he/she had been sent links. His/her response to those was basically to get rude, indignant and come up with as many counter-arguments as possible while not once trying to understand someone else's position or consider the possibility he/she was mistaken about something.
I don't know if adefmay was intentionally trolling but he/she was certainly deficient in rationalist virtue.
That said, I think we need to handle newcomers better anyway and an FAQ section is really important. I'd help with it.
There have been several newcomers in the last few days -- maybe the mention in the Guardian drew them here.
Besides telling them what we're all about, a standing invitation for newcomers to introduce themselves might be useful, but there isn't a place for them to do so. How about another standard monthly thread?
We don't have personal profile pages here, do we?
And happy new year to everyone.
