I'm with ixnay here. I think Jon is being too sensitive, yet Grim is being a bit too abrasive. But I don't think either of you are trying to offend or otherwise dismiss the other.
I'm going to just say this. We are relatively few in a larger somewhat unfriendly environment, in that what we are advocating here runs against the grain, technologically, culturally. If we are to have any real future at keeping the hobby alive, those of us who seek to do so need each other.
No room for pettiness and egos, no room for children. We need to be adults, with skins thickened by maturity, but also with the knowledge that we are all here together on the same side and want the same thing, to advocate for our rarified passion.
