While the rest of the U.S. is consumed with mid-term election results, World Series celebrations, fantasy football, Survivor, and Justin Bieber thinking he can dance with 5th graders, we hackers pay little attention and keep on working.
Then you guys come along with fresh hacker-friendly drama. Thank you! It's been 3 weeks since Angelgate, and things were beginning to get monotonous alt-tabbing between my IDE, my debugger, my test runs, email, and hacker news.

Now that the sarcasm tag has been lifted, let me say what I really think:
Why is it that those of you who have so much spend so much energy being drama queens? We hackers struggle every day, sometimes for years, building stuff, but if we fart wrong during a pitch, you send us on our way as if nothing we ever did matters. Anyone who comes to this board can bitch and moan about a million different things, but most of us don't; we just keep on working.
Why don't you all just STFU and do the same. There's already too much drama and too much work to be done. When Silicon Valley turns into Hollywood or Washington, D.C., we should all start worrying.
