What happens when you get a bunch of nerds without any social skills, put them together in an internet forum and have them try to interact in a community?
Just read the threads where there are social skills required (Coin Change, Job interviews, etc).. and see whom answers what.. If you have a little bit of common sense, and social skills, you will see why a lot of people hate MPS, or how a lot of people can't get the morbs jokes 99% of the time. There is a lack of social skills in these forum as I have never seen before in my life. And I've been to comic congresses, the premier of Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, and even played some role game once. (hey they had free beer!).
There is also this mindbuggling thing about lack of logic. I mean, nerds programmers and developers, are suppossed to be very logic people. Go read any of the "hate" threads, and detach any feelings from it. Just try to read the logic behind every argument. See again who posts what.
Now, when it comes to technicall (coding and all that stuff I know little about) debates, I have to say I've always found that guys like MPS o morb are the kind to be trusted for more reliable information. Not because they have more posts, but because their answers make sense (logic anyone?), are validated when contrasted with other sources information, and are never biased in the "PHP-M$oft-sucks-think-with-your-heart" bullshit that a lot of others try to push in here.
I'm not saying that I haven't felt the need to bitchslap MPS once in a while. I mean no one is perfect, and sometimes he can go overboard, but banning him, is as much a mistake as it is to delete posts.
Everyone in this forum lately has become so fucking touchy and sensible, that is making me sick. (well not really, is kind of amusing actually). Anyone remember Cpound era? Man that dude got hitted hard... and always came back like a man.
And you know what is sad..that the people without social skills will deny it (or are in denial), and the ones without logic skills will never understand it.
Now everyone here should try to grow some skin..
