I couldn't have said it better myself. 

 

In fact, D-Love stole that from me; he placed, by remote control when I was
sleeping, an incredibly complex nanobot in my brain in order to steal my
brilliant and original ideas and great store of brilliant jewels of
brilliant enlightenment. 

 

These northern Californians are all the same: evil genius nerds who will
stop at nothing to appear wise and masterful. Curse, you, D-Love. Curse
you......(soft sobbing....)

Well, that's just not my experience at all on this list, at conventions or
in an information gathering phone call.  The generosity with which people
share what might be considered proprietary information belies that idea.
People who spend a lot of time developing ideas, techniques and procedures
and put themselves at risk for criticism in sharing those ideas better be a
bit tough minded because there is often such resistance to anything new or
which falls outside the norm.  However, that people have strong opinions or
defend their ideas with strong language, incredulousness, sarcasm,
facetiousness or wit should not be confused with being egotistical or
thinking that others are as you describe so indelicately.  There are lots of
ways to skin a cat (disgusting expression really) but sometimes there are
better ways.  Hopefully, we're all looking for a better way and have the
willingness and toughness to put ourselves on the line and defend those
ideas.  Without that, even with a few rough spots in communication
protocols, the trade stagnates.
