Maturing on WSO

I've been seeing a lot of complaints about an overload of incel-y or cringey shit on WSO, which is more than justified. The platform has been brutal recently no doubt. A handful of accounts, who seem like their 14, blast out more shit than an intern the morning after Phebe's. 

What I've been trying to get at is that when you're a kid who doesn't have a clue what IB / PE / finance broadly is like you're going to sound like the kid everyone hates - and everyone will think you're a retard. HOWEVER, I think many of us can say that we were there at one point. I know I was...

Thoughts on how to combat this? Is it an essential part of being on this platform on the younger side? Other opinions?
