The opposite is actually true. This place once had plenty of debate, some of it by knowledgeable people. It's like a cocktail party, where four or five people are having an interesting discussion, and they get interrupted by one drunk. So, one smart person leaves, and another drunk enters, and before long it's just four drunks babbling to each other.

Anything worth doing is difficult. When I was young, and still thought I knew everything, I constantly annoyed serious and experienced players, and they were hardly kind in concealing their annoyance. I'm grateful for their abuse, because I didn't go home, cry, and walk away from the game. I studied more, worked harder, and improved my opinion. Years later, I was no longer the least knowledgeable person in the conversation, and years after that I because a part of the conversation.

Nobody ever really got anywhere worth getting by passive aggressively pointing fingers at others.
