I didn't understand the overreaction as well, but the idea that someone's tenure on this forum is somehow indicative of their knowledge of the game or the amount of time they've been playing it is inaccurate. I'm no 20-year veteran (hats off to you guys), but have been playing pretty reliably since 19.
It's a good principle to respond to what people say rather than who you think they are. Appealing to authority is a fallacy precisely because sometimes smart people say stupid things while the converse is also true. So we should keep our focus on the opinions, not the opiners.
