I think, OftenBen, I'll post my thoughts here, partially because I think it's weird to clog feed with multiple "A year of Hubski" posts (though don't mistake me, I'm in love with this idea). If you don't mind?
Alright, so for context, OftenBen came up with a year of Hubski idea, noticing that a few of use all kind of showed up on here around the same time (Due to a reddit thread i think). I think Hubski has been the single most positive influence in my life over the past year. The fact that I can come here at any time of day and be surprised, enamoured, deflated, perturbed, jollified and encouraged by the content and the discourse here is a real treat for me. I have been wrong here, I have been offensive to some (at a point of weakness - felt desperate to be included in something against my better judgement). I have been educated, had my eyes opened, and found out things that amazed me and shattered my own personal bias. Thanks Hubski. You're pretty alright.
