Exactly. I've been around Pacifica for over 20 years and watched it slide into deep chaos, madness, and irrelevance. Ignorant fools who can't talk and have no idea what they're talking about holding forth in the most unengaging ways. To those idiots, having people who know their subject and how to talk about it is some sort of debased "professionalism," and against the spirit of the "community." If I want to hear what the "community" thinks, I can eavesdrop on the subway.
