I'm not trying to defend some kid on a playground, here. Jerry can defend himself, and I have really no place to stand up for him since he never asked for it anyway. I am not standing up to defend a person, however... I'm standing up to defend a concept.
Our behavior on this forum continues to chase people away, and it's generally the personal attacks, the overly-biased positions that we take to defend our fragile egos from someone with more skills or more money, the "everyone jump on the band wagon to say the same not-so-easy-to-hear criticism because it's fun to kick a man when he's down" behaviors, etc. that are doing it.
Certainly, everyone has a bad day here and there, but as a culture on this forum we are getting steadily worse.
Give peace a chance.
