  I'm sorry, I'm really not clear on what you're trying to say here. Do you disagree with the #1/#2 breakdown I presented? That's totally fine. But I don't think it's any less productive than the discussion about whether "infosec has a jerk problem".

    The article show-cased common social problems and then shared ways of mitigating, even understanding, the "jerks". We could all be more kind. Your post seemed to be focused on the details of those you dislike. That's it. No story about how you built camraderie or struggled to understand them. What lesson should someone learn from your post?

      Huh. Fair enough. My comment is definitely about my issues, and probably not (now that I'm forced to reflect on it) in the original spirit of the post. This particular issue is buzzing in my head this week because of the stupid grsecurity Twitter drama, which is really bugging me. I guess I'd like an "infosec community" that spends more effort thinking about engineering and less about community dynamics. We could definitely all be kinder.
