who so far as I can tell has never done a day's real work in his life?

How could you possibly know a thing like that?

The things you've said in this thread are so much worse than anything you accuse Dustin of saying. I wonder the contrast doesn't strike you.

It's always hardest to see flaws in oneself. Do I come across as telling people what to do? I try to avoid that (outside my specific expertise), but I'm constantly worried I've failed.

Is it that I think I'm better than Dustin? That's a tougher one; I'm hardly any less privileged; I think I'm less condescending. Being proud of one's humility is a trap, but that doesn't mean one should never call others out on their arrogance.

Is it the hate? I'd like to be more constructive, but I think there's still value in being honest. There is a risk of a negative impact here, but the worst obvious case is that I upset one person and have no other effect.

A world class designer with a funded, successful blog network or an unemployed LARPer. Not sure it's as tough as you think.
