All the new people have been dumb.
Can't really disagree there.
But we were all dumb at one point, so usually when somebody isn't blatantly dumb or doesn't try making a ton of stupid topics I'm more willing to give them a chance before writing off everything they write as complete nonsense.
And of course there are people who sully that goodwill and turn around to BECOME idiots, though thankfully that's not really happened.
