Come on, Jay. I'm not a Karma whore. That was pretty low, brother. I'm a pretty selfless guy, tbh. I'm trying to be helpful to this, which is MY, community, and I consider myself a part of it wholeheartedly. But whether we're developers or users, we see a login and it doesn't work as expected, and some people leave only because they have a hard time signing in. I had the issue with making a Brainstorm, so I'm speaking from experience.

We can just ignore the whole thing, but I thought saying something might give insight to making things smoother for the masses, sort of like my portrait/ASR "crusade", which wasn't as nice as I'd like. However, after the surveys show how many people want it and find its absence an oversight, as I'd predicted, I wished some of us could just start listening to criticism constructively. I had a suggestion, not a declaration of war.

If only developers belong in certain parts of the site, just let it be known and save us non devs some time. I know none of the info "requires" a login, but most don't, and it causes confusion we could easily solve.

My site has a community of over 115k members. Most of the readers here won't filter there, since this site provides something my community does on a smaller scale. We are the little brother of "The .Org", as we've started calling this site, and want to be partners, not an alternative. There's nothing blatant about trying to make things better here that relates to my site, which hasn't been mentioned in this thread once.

Cut me some slack, and reevaluate your assessment of why I'm here. Obviously, there is some holdover form the past month's fiasco, but I've let that all go, and forgiven the whole ordeal. Can you do the same, my friend? I'm bipolar, and a jerk, but I want to make amends, if you'll accept.

I'll avoid this thread to avoid the PERCEPTION of any ill will to "The .Org" if that will please you, but doing so will keep my opinion out of this community, which I don't find fair. I want to be a member here, but not if I'll be blackballed anytime I say anything. I'm only here to help, nothing more.
