So...guess I'm the new guy

It's your claim. You don't want to defend it, fine. Don't expect to be taken seriously if that's case.

Common knowledge shouldn't have to be defended.

Except that it isn't common knowledge. I'm certainly aware of Platinga's argument against the Problem of Evil - but even that cannot be considered common knowledge. Ask 10 random people about it and I bet you get approximately 9 blank stares.

I'm also aware that many philosophers consider the problem solved.

The PoE comes up here quite frequently, and frankly, I can't recall that there is in fact any kind of consensus on the matter.

The logical problem of evil argument is considered to be resolved by the wider philosophical community.

So, I repeat, for the emphasized portion above, [citation needed].
