sorry, maybe 'snob' is a better word to describe folks who cannot handle the unwashed masses invading their domain. But in seriousness, I understand the impact a bunch of oblivious (willfully or otherwise) people can have on a here-to carefully curated and managed space, I sympathize.

Is it snobbery to think that maybe those unwashed masses should get their shit together and not trample on the places they've just landed?

[sillyquiet]

Well it depends on the 'place'. Complaining about the common folk using USENET? yes, that's snobbery. Complaining about too many people messing up a natural space? No, that's not snobbery.

Snobbery? Those "common folk" destroyed (as in, made completely unusable for its intended purpose) USENET.
