Unfortunately, one has to get used to this kind of retarded elitism in this
scene. I'm not saying everyone thinks/acts this way, but I think it will
always be present to some degree due to the personality types that the work
seems to attract. It is amusing to see people go on and on about someone
else's lack of a specific ability, and their proficiency in that ability -- 
you have to wonder what they're trying to compensate for.
