As long as most users think and act like you do then there will be no issue with heavy circlejerking, but I don't have that much faith in the average person on the internet.

heh... too right. but have faith. this place has a way of making you see the good in people you may not otherwise converse with.

Indeed, indeed. I'm having a conversation with Laurelai of all people right now and it isn't as bad as it would have been on Reddit. Hopefully things won't change too much with a larger community.

it's up to us, right? we get to control the flow.

I've misunderstood people, and I've been misunderstood. I had to control myself and hold back the inner flame-troll and just keep it civil. And in the end, I still don't agree with some people... but I follow a few of them just to keep things interesting.
