Just like in the real world, first impressions are not always right, but they do matter. Since most of us do not know each other off the forum, you are defined by all your posts. If you make a lot of posts people will get to know you as a person.
Every internet forum that I've been part of has controversial subjects, we had quite a few over the years. Boat size is a hot button topic, so my skeptic alarm went off.
If you come in and make five posts on a controversial subject and never post again, I don't really understand you as a person.
As for chefs, titles don't cook and run restaurants, neither do forum posts. I can't judge the food of the two recent chefs by their posts but I did get a first impression of them as people.
Alton Lady stick around and let us get to know you.
