The real problem here is that spring is not a skill exclusive community, which causes alot of tensions. Things like the color thread. Smoth posted undeniable proof that the color was pink, it was something like 255, 70, 70 for the RGB, now if you know anything about RGB colors you know that is not a red and it is a pink. The problem wasn't that people didn't like smoth and were trying to piss him off, the problem was that people came from places where RGB values didn't mean anything to them, so they didn't know what they were talking about, and they still argued the point that "It looks red on my monitor and therefore it is red" as if that were objective. We have this ALL OVER the spring community, people who can't edit images critiquing maps, people who know nothing of code asking for coding features, people who don't know what a polygon refers to asking for units to be made, and the ever present people coming from arts backgrounds imposing thier conventions on people coming from technical backgrounds vice versa.

Smoth is a 4th year computer science student at a prestigious university and he is the top of his class. The issue was that he was sick of people assuming less and making stupid comments because they couldn't speak his language or get their heads around what he was saying. Smoth is not a teacher, and he got fed up with people goading him. I can't blame him at all for getting fed up with this community, but it's as much a problem with a community like this just not being ideal for a mind like that then it is any individual's fault.

Exactly. Now I'll go back to the other community.
