I never claimed to be anything, and I have no dead or flagged comments.

But I'm an asshole. I'm very rude and blunt. That's a given. Never claimed otherwise. But I'm not the leader of a community I'm trying to build. That's you. You need to take a higher road if you want to build a positive reputation. Or you can roll around with pigs like me and get a reputation for being muddy.

The fact that you turn it back to me personally when you should be standing on the merits of your work says everything I need to know about you and your community. Change my mind.
