It's offensive if you look at it from the perspective of posting bullshit every 15 minutes in the introduce yourself tag, pushes authors of the list that may have actually put some work into an introduction in the hopes of getting noticed. It pushes authors of the list that may actually know how to write and be able to create content that elevates this site, it may make them go unnoticed, discourage them and cause them to give up.. No matter how you slice it, it hurts the site, serves no purpose, and has a negative impact on others aspiring to get noticed.
