    I think we all benefit by differentiating this from a sheer stability standpoint. The more we can say “That guy pisses me off” the less often we’ll say “Hubski pisses me off” because the problem with a love/hate relationship is half the time you’re angry.

It's interesting... I've never thought of hubski as something to be mad at. I've only ever had emotional reactions to the people here. I don't get upset at the walls, floor, or light fixtures in a room where I'm meeting people socially - I can't imagine getting mad at "hubski". I've noticed when a lightbulb goes out or made suggestions for different features, but I can say I've never been upset by the room.

But then again - I am a fairly lazy user. I drift in and drift out. I rarely get invested in the "U NO WUT WOOD MAKE THIS PLACES THE BESTEST?!?!" discussions (that often happen with surges of new users). I just enjoy it for what it is, and occasionally try to help it organically grow.

The connections I make with people here are far more important to me than the mechanics behind it. That being said - the spartan user profiles.... could maybe use some improvement.

What was for lunch? I hope it was amaze-balls.
