And God forbid you have post count less than 1,000 lest you be a Russian agent.

Personally, I think it's more productive to just read the post and either ignore, or respond intelligently.

Yes we can put worry and time into trying to understand the posters past voting history, or in this case their posting history from years gone by. But if you do, who "wins"? The person worrying? Or the person who posted and moved on?

If the post is "disruptive". Click ignore and move on with life.
