I don’t want to seem like im attacking anyone, but it’s hard enough for people to find a reliable environment to learn and share their thoughts without feeling as though they may be mocked. Sure, some are playing a game and need to be mocked, but others are simply missing the knowledge and experience to enable them to relate to other wannabees and experienced alike

Again, this isn’t an attack...just a concern.

There is a world of difference between a new person and a wannabe. In this sense, we use "wannabe" as someone who puts themselves forth as someone who already is, does not admit their lack of experience.

It is the dishonesty that is looked down upon, not the lack of experience.
