Why would you ever think this an acceptable thing to say?

I’ve recently learned to downvote/flag and not respond to green names. The number of new accounts coming in hot with inflammatory takes lately has seemed higher to me, but admittedly this is purely a “vibe,” I have no numbers to back it up.

Anyway, I just flag/downvote and move on.

TIL that the green color means the account is new. I always thought it was a special marker somehow, like the equivalent of a blue checkmark.
Yeah I used to think it was the thread OP or an admin or something myself.
