hahaha thats actually very strange to hear, I feel like a bad influence, like Eminem or something, and yes, I remember the incident your referring too, I hadn't recognised your username and was gobsmacked some newb was giving me grief. Based on what you've said, apparently I only have myself to blame lol.
Anyway, I think its better for the community that we treat each other with a little respect, Ive also seen some potentially good threads petered out because the conversation became ridiculous. No amount of moderation can correct these things, its just a group decision we have to make to better our forum experience.
All newbs post silly threads, my first thread on this site about 6 years ago was "who better aliens or predators", I know rite, but nobody made fun of me or posted silly comments resulting in the locking of the thread and a bad taste in my mouth. You mentioned some things about newbs being useless, we gotta welcome them a little better, mould them so to speak. People see new members posting questionable topics and they see its as an opportunity to SPAM the thread.
