On the sickness of our community

Not that I've been a saint either. But if your reaction is "my community is OK" you should probably look harder (and that goes for Jon as well). Goes doubly if you're a leader in the community (like Jon is)- that means you don't see a lot of what goes on behind the scenes, or don't feel it as acutely as new people.

(Which is also not to say that our communities are all bad; there is a lot of positive, human, humane stuff going on there. But that doesn't give us a free pass on all the other behavior.)
