Sadly, it sure looks that way.  I see a lot of people talking (or
shouting) past each other, a lot of counterproductive stubbornness and
hypocrisy too ("I don't care what others think but I expect them to care
about what I think").

I was really hoping at this point we'd be past that polarity and
childishness.  Maybe we just need more time?  Or will there always be two
distinct camps in this "community"? Tories and Whigs?  Democrats and
Republicans?  Emailers and Forumers?
