I am a relatively experienced Stack Exchange user and have been on other exchanges for a few years. This is the frostiest welcome I'm ever received.

One thing that's new for me on this Exchange, though, is to have found myself harassed by a commenter who decided to doubt the facts of my post really without much of a purpose. This commenter decided to be overly skeptical over my report of a coffee maker that a mostly plastic boiling pot (it's easy to verify that appliances like this exist). It's strange behavior I've never experienced on other Exchanges. Skepticism abounds, but usually not that kind of naked trolling.

Secondly, I then found myself getting lectured by a moderator about the "subjectivity" of my question. It's insulting, frankly. There's little subjective about a quest for an electric Turkish Coffee maker without a plastic boiling pot. I actually think it's an important question for those who care about coffee, especially Turkish coffee.

I'd ask all participants in this exchange to consider whether they actually want this exchange to have new users. Exchanges, frankly, are two-way streets: Is a question on topic? Is it interesting and new? Other things being equal, that should be enough for a question to take flight.

I invite all of the moderators here to reassess how welcoming this Exchange is to new users and what the purpose really is. I'm a passionate Coffee drinker and that should be enough to get a good discussion going.
