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.
