Hi Eric. I, for one, am happy to see you here. Glad to see you progressing on to bigger/better things.
Scott-
I must say, I find it funny that the caricature the HT echo chamber presents of bitcointalk is that we're horrible, evil people who want nothing but to make the world burn, and yet we see stuff like this. It makes me think a lot of folks have never actually been here and tried to be part of the community.
Now reddit, that place can be a nightmare depending on the weather and I kinda agree with some of the sentiment about it.
