Media
As a "far-from-guru-status" Web Standards supporter/coder (I try) I
have
witnessed, on this list and on another css-specific list, quite a
bit of
condescending and 'forced-opinion' type of replies. It doesn't make
for a
nice atmosphere when looking to these lists for help.
Completely agree. The most common off-list comments I receive are
along the
lines of "a great list, very helpful, but sometimes a bit of
attitude".
Also, I don't think 'moral high-horse' is the right term for it
though...
What about "web standards shetland pony"?
LOL. I've been guilty of editorializing (from differing perspectives)
at times and I find that slowing the trigger on the send button along
with a healthy does of mindfulness goes a long way :-). When you have
too many chefs in the kitchen, things can start to get hot - or
confusing, especially for those who came to learn.
