One of the worst kinds of online comments is: “Oh, look who’s suddenly the big EXPERT in this field!” As if your only options are either being a distinguished scholar or staying silent on any issue that involves some technical knowledge!

I think you're wrong to think that that is one of the worst kinds of online comments; many others are worse; and there are many good reasons to promote discrimination between genuine experts and mere dilettantes on soapboxes. But I would agree that that that is an annoying construction and applaud your eschewal of it in this post.
