"High quality standard" is not the problem, then - the problem is being intimidating to new users.

I keep getting riled up and wanting to post insults that you're all a bunch of elitist pricks, but then I remember I'm the one who put on the dojo uniform and stepped onto the sparring mat, so I guess I should have expected that kick to the face.

I think it's part of the culture, and not something that's easily changed. You guys can be ruthless.

Please note that the above are my opinions and I do not wish to argue about them. The last time I did that, it ended badly. It's like getting kicked for saying someone kicked you... or maybe I'm more fragile than most.

I do think you're more fragile than some. As for most, who knows?

I give you credit for saying what's going on with you.

I'm not sure how much of the intimidation at LW is the intelligence level and how much is the degree of criticism.
