Can we talk about this kind of discourse? Namely when lurkers post about lurking... it's damaging to the lurker reputation when people pretend to be lurkers but still actually submit posts and comments. You have no idea what it's like to be a real lurker smh

Sorry I just had to, no actual ill intent here

Criticism like this is actually damaging to young posters in this community. Saying things like "pretending to be a lurker" pushes people deeper into being lurkers out of fear that when they do finally post they will be attacked.
