I don't know what my future in the Forth community will be, but if anything is to drive me out, it'd be stuff like this. It reminds me a lot of the Smug Lisp Weenie and the Insufferable Haskell P***k, of the attitude that "my opinion and views are the only valid ones, and if you disagree with me, then you're an idiot and destructive and you don't belong around here." >> >> Ah well.

That was the goal of my presentation at the EuroForth 2012 in Oxford, GB: > http://www.complang.tuwien.ac.at/anton/euroforth/ef12/papers/bruehl.pdf This is a good group. It is full of intelligent, experienced programmers and just plain good thinkers. The negative influences here are sporadic and don't really dominate the group. But they do create a point of focus that we tend to dwell on. The best way to deal with the negativity is to ignore it. It only achieves prominence when we give it our attention and bring it to the foreground. Trying to salve negativity with reason is fruitless, giving it any attention only encourages it more. -- Rick
