(The post including “This demographic has historically been disconnected from social impact” made me much less inclined to want this person to stick around.)
Barring pretty unusual circumstances, I don’t think commenting on the relative undesirability of an individual poster sticking around is warranted. Especially when the individual poster is new and commenting on a criticism-adjacent area.
I don’t like the quoted sentence from the original poster either, as it stands—if someone is going to make that assertion, it needs to be better specified and supported. But there are lots of communities in which it wouldn’t be seen as controversial or needing support (especially in the context of a short post). So judging a newcomer for not knowing that this community would expect specification/support does not seem appropriate.
Moreover, if we’re going to take LLM outputs seriously, it’s worth noting that ChatGPT thinks the quote is significantly true:
Even though I don’t take ChatGPT’s answer too seriously, I do think it is evidence that the original statement was neither frivolous nor presented in bad faith.
