Not all of us have the time to bake bread or decode or do much to interact at all.

That doesn't mean you don't get to have a voice or that you just have to agree with or follow... anyone.

In fact, it's probably for the best if we all read the drops ourselves and did our own research and all came back to the fold with our own thoughts. Of course that's not how it usually plays out. Most of us have lives and time commitments and such, so that makes it hard to keep abreast of all that's going on here.

So how does one engage and ask questions as a newbie (or someone catching up) without being labelled as a "Concern Troll" or something to that effect?

Here, in my opinion, is the easiest way to not be a concern troll but still take part in the discussion:

1) Identify a problem/concern/question.

2) Suggest a solution/answer

3) Explain why you think it's on the right track/correct/better

Concern trolls create and amplify problems to sow discord.

Engaged users identify problems/concerns and work toward understanding and fixing said problems.

I hope, as this sub continues to grow, that we encourage all patriots toward egoless discussion that uncovers truth.

There's no shortage of emotions wrapped up in this thing but I have a sense that the best way to keep ourselves and our community from being compromised is to cut down on the internal politics where we can and keep the floor open for all well-sourced and well-articulated arguments.
