It's not even the crappy, nitpicky criticism that bothers me, it's how it's so frequently presented with zero tact, and an overdose of aggression.
Reading some of the threads around here you'd think we're giving points for being rude, condescending, assuming everyone else is a complete idiot, and utter and complete verbal evisceration of other posters.
In short, there are an awful lot of people here that behave like complete assholes to everyone else, and when called out on it they'll yell loudly about how they're being oppressed for expressing valid opinions in vitriolic ways, and then follow that up with some variation of "well, the world isn't nice, wuss".
- porker 13y ago+1. When I started learning to develop for the web in 2001 I was part of a list with an iron-clad list mom (of some repute). I fell foul of him numerous times, but it kept the discussions good and on track. I learned a lot, the feedback I got improved my coding no end, and everyone kept a level of respect for each other. I'm not old, but I long for the old days :)
