At the Forge itself, mostly I just feel (as I mentioned to Carl last night) that it's turned into a meta-discussion. Or a meta-meta-discussion. That is, mostly arguments over whether the Forge is cool or not. As I said, I imagine the theory forums were shut down as much in response to the people who (thought they) *agreed* with the PTB as those that disagree. No, it's the blogs where I see the most egregious hubris. Which, on a meta-level, ties back to the discussion about blogs vs. mailing lists (or web forums, same difference): http://raven.phoenyx.net/mutterings/20060105.html -- Karen J.
