Yes, dismissive comments are a problem. It is better to respond to new work with an open mind and to be constructive when criticizing. Still, posting another dismissive comment doesn't improve the thread.

More helpful would be including specific information about things like (a) what we shouldn't be so quick to dismiss; (b) what the founders have probably thought of; (c) how to post more substantively; or (d) how to criticize more constructively. Then we learn something.
