What a sad day. Agreed. I've always thought that this community was something different. I love coming here; the intelligence; the discussion; the connectedness. Me too. I don't personally know a single one of you, but I've admired many of you in your ability to form smart and reasoned arguments about many things. And I've admired and enjoyed the many discussions with you too, David. Today I learned that you're not much more than any other community, despite your qualities. Today I learned that the same thing that destroyed reddit will likely destroy you Here's where I start to disagree with you. I think you're overreacting. as the site grows, the community fragments, cliques form, and conflict begins That's not my take on today at all. Just a bunch of people letting off steam. Don't let yourself make it into anything bigger. I was hoping that pg would be able to create something that could buck the trend I believe he has. Don't let one bad day change your mind about that. OTOH, look at the bright side. I believe a day like today will provide pg with plenty of data for mods that will actually make the community stronger. I won't say good-bye or promise never to post again or any of that crap Good. See you tomorrow. this small event is a rather depressing addition to my experiences of the day Whenever it gets that bad, I tell myself that it's time to log off and get a life. Today was just one of those days. I honestly started to believe that this community was different It is. Have a little faith, brother.
