There have been so many frivolous and baseless attacks on MONGO that it has become almost impossible for any new complaint to be taken seriously. Having a "brand new user" pitch right in with such claims is also virtually certain to result in a diagnosis of sockpuppetry, because thus far it always has been, as far as I can tell.
If people don't want MONGO to snap at them they might consider not baiting him. The ED trolls (of whom there have been several) are not gentle cuddly fluffy types. Neither are the conspiracy POV-pushers.
Of course MONGO needs to tone down the rhetoric, but most of the complaints against him are reminiscent of Jonathan Barber howling abuse because (he says) one or two of his 400 known and suspected sockpuppets are not actually him.
