Newcomers to the tech world read these posts and assume it must be true when in fact these statements are just one person's opinion based on a handful of experiences.
Then shame on them. One shouldn't assume anything is true, just because somebody argues their position vigorously. If people are actually doing what you describe (which I doubt, to be honest), then they need to develop better filters.
If you're going to argue from experience however, you have to have compelling experiences to argue from.
Bunk. All of our experiences are compelling in their own way, and everyone should share their experience and opinions. The onus is on the receiver to parse, filter, analyze, synthesize, etc. and form whatever conclusions - if any - they might form.
