I should have made it a post, but I was beat-up from trying. I see now that the shoutout was to "newgreen" not to "thenewgreen" - anyway, there it is.

Badged for effort and for content! I agree with your conclusion, we seem to have a fun group that isn't too cynical but also isn't naive. -A tough line to tow.

Sorry it was difficult to post this, as I mentioned I had the exact same problem yesterday. mk said that he will make the error page a bit more friendly.

I just happened across the discussion on free speech arising from the hanging chair article a week or two ago. If that had been in my lurk feed, my conclusions about the Hubski zeitgeist would have been somewhat different.

Yeah, I didn't enjoy that posts comments or overall "vibe" at all. There have only been a few moments on the site that have made me upset and that was one of them. That said, I spend a ridiculous amount of time on Hubski and if there have only been a "few", well it has to be a pretty neat place, right? That said, I've been meaning to get to your "identity" post but have not had the chance for the quiet introspection that I think it deserves.
