Comments about how well other communities get together are just plain wrong; I was present at a war to the death between two rival San Diego amateur astronomy groups, and why there weren't mass arrests is beyond me.

My personal bitterness towards this site is that I think it pretends to be freer than it is; it all started when ITT was liberated with a fake vote. Now the outcomes of most questions are essentially rigged. However, I'm not always bitter and rarely start 'this device sucks' threads.
