Incompetent and lazy people always blame others for their poverty and lack of success. This forum has more members trying to help people than any other forum I can think of. Note the use of the word "trying", it's water, horses and drinking again, I've stopped trying to help thirsty asses, and spend time with the members who make their own way to the water holes.
Spot on!
I think they blamed seniors because of envy/jealousy. There is a quote "jealousy is a sign of mediocrity." The meaning here is that actually if these newbies were capable and qualified, no matter how much the rules do not side with them, it won't affect them.
In this case, mediocre members still could get a fair number of merits, so the quote should be "jealousy is a sign of stupidity."
And all of this because of what? A mere 1 (one) merit point.
They must be really really dumb.
