Glad you were open to seeing what I'm talking about, and why it concerns me. I also feel I have been guilty of it, and have hesitated to comment in technical conversations as often for the same reasons as you. I've been trying to correct that in myself as well, seeking out more technical conversations where my statements can be clearly evaluated to be true or false based on technical merits, and thus valuable to anyone reading it. Unfortunately, a part of nurturing a certain type of community, is to make it slightly unapproachable to those you don't want in it. I think the very plain css of the site already does a great job of that, but I wonder if it's still not enough to curate the community long term.
