SO is great, let's get that out of the way. Fine. Whatever. They are getting a bit ridiculous and taking themselves too seriously. I mean that foolish "graph of niceness," wow. There is a really good side to SO and a really weird side and I don't think the good part is made that way because of the weird side. The weird side is somewhat cultish, to just be honest. Honestly, this probably because of a culture derived from one of the founders, in fact a particular one of the founders would aggressively defend this cult of personality behavior Also, I found this strange: >But in the end, this sort of navel-gazing misses the point: we’re not here to pat each other on the back and hand out gold stars ... Isn't this basically what SO is?
