IMO, the reason we regress intellectually and bash one another is because the community has zero forward momentum. We're in the same place today we were in 2 years ago. That is not a bash to the devs, because I also understand why there is not a greater effort there either. So few people to do so much work, and they just get shit on anyway.
The little server-specific flare-ups like this that occur do not damage the community. It gives the rest of us a moment to be entertained. They usually die down quickly anyway. The damage comes from non-stop trashing, bashing from old timers who hate the current team, or competing projects who somehow think they are better than everyone else on the planet.
Maybe I just talk too much. I'll shut up again and just surf.
