I don't know what's the worst. That you can't help it or that you won't ever recognize you have a problem.

Unfortunaly there is no Lisp Anonymous, so people leave the language. Shame since it's a fantastic tech.

Yeah, you managed to link a comment with some code (although I agree it looks useless)... I expected a github link to some lib relying on undocumented macros.

Anyone can write bad code. Lisp certainly makes it easier, I won't deny it. And no, I don't have a problem, thank you.
