huh? As far as I can tell, this site is being run by concientious people, who do their best to stay in business and keep things civil. As far as hubris is concerned, pride in one's work is constructive, not vain. The web can be a strange place, but rude and whining is just that, no matter what name you slap on it. (No, I'm not referring to anyone in this thread.) And a few people who agree defending actions are just that: people who agree. I'll plead guilty to being a Pollyana in most of my comments, but they're heartfelt. Otherwise I wouldn't bother to type them. The makeover for example. It wasn't the one I voted for, but now that it's up, it looks great, it works great, and I like it. No brown-nosing or mindless flattery, even though it's positive. Criticism can come in 2 forms. Going on the offensive will, quite naturally, put everyone on the defensive. Presenting your issues calmly and asking for assistance usually elicits all sorts of help. Let's face it: nothing here is truly life-or-death critical, or has to be solved in the next 10 seconds. 2¢ spent. ;)
