This is the first time i've actually joined a conversation here on the google group, I feel strongly enough about this to actually have my say. I have to agree with many of you on here, Benjamin certainly didn't approach this in a way that promotes healthy discussion but he makes a very valid point. I can see that he is frustrated because he wants the community to flourish. I am not an expert in cake and so some of my questions are newbish. So what? I think the community should respect newcomers and welcome them with positive and helpful comments. I have gotten a sense that its ok to reply with cynicism, and rudeness. I wonder why people want to make other people feel like shit, instead of helping them understand. I have never felt a warm welcoming feeling from this group, (and probably wont after posting either) I don't know if its the nature of the anonymity of the internet that turns nice people into real assholes. This is a real issue and should be looked at by the core developers and the community that supports them. The growth and popularity of cake will be determined by its community, either we start treating each other like friends, or as I see it the community fails and cake fails.
