Your response about this being arguably one of the most positive communities in the world is quite confusing as well. If you took the size of the community compared to other communities or groups of a similar size, I'm sure we would be more positive in intentions overall than 99% of them.
Still more confusing is your impression I was "pushing you out of the debate" when you were never even on my mind when I composed the post. You respond as though I personally attacked you. I shouldn't have to say it since I was not specific whom I was speaking to, but that was directed at no one in particular.
Without having met 99% of them, i can not say, because i believe my saying would be a reflection of what i wish for in the now and the actuality of the community around me being, forever, in a state of flux as i travel through it. So, i can not say, i feel that this community is positive, but i do not confuse what i feel to be true with what i think to be/know to be true.
Tha tbeing said, i believe that the attribution of "I am or we are as a community better than 99% of humanity in being a good guy/positive" is at its core, highly STS.
That is all I can say about this that I have not alreadys said in some form.
