First of all, I commend your possition on HF whatever

To those I speak of instead of getting defensive and angry find someone who can communicate with the masses and also remember the variations in languages. It would not hurt to think through the impact on others besides yourselves.

I am as puzzled as you are. I have tried to read as much as I can but I think the gap that separates those in the know from the masses just widens with every HF.
All I see is a diatribe about the downvotes. I particularly dislike that bottom. Most crappy bloggers have the SP to obliterate any small account downvoting as a form of protest to crappy/racist/violent/gross content. Bullying will be on the rise now.
I see the defensive reactions as corporate reactions. We see this in insurance companies, car dealers, the military, and big corporations. They will always justify their decisions and the collateral damage is something you just suck up and move on. Whatever disadvantage you are in is because of you. You have not been ambitious enough, creative enough, active enough.
I beg to differ, but, let's talk about flowers instead (those in the know seem to have their minds settle on self-interests).
Beautiful rose. With all those drops one feels like eating it up. Looks refreshing :)
Lovely family of deers. So great you have been able to track this doe's births for so many years.
