Yeah, I can't imagine the ego one needs to basically go "Hey everyone, I've invented a new standard!"...

What a Pedantic take on what constitutes a 'standard'.

About the most annoying thing about the modern Internet is this kind of chip-on-the-shoulder comment about "oh he has such a big ego" and nonsense like that.

Man, I preferred it when people could just write up and propose things. The insufferable "is that professional?", "What about consensus?", "Wow the ego to propose something".

Time to return to monke.

Yeah I agree, the project seems like a decent enough idea to discuss, and by the amount of engagement it's getting here there is some data to back up that assertion.

Additionally I'm sure that those ("they have such a big ego") types of comments and thoughts existed in the early internet as well since its fairly human reaction whenever anyone tries to build or propose something that disrupts the status quo.
