I know the plural of anecdote is not data, but every time I've asked a question in #scala I've received nothing but helpful and welcoming responses.

Most of the time that's what you'll get. But there are (or at least were when last I was there) two or three people who will respond unpleasantly, and I want to be honest about that.

Is this why I don't see you there anymore? This has in my opinion made #scala a markedly less pleasant place to hang out.

[lmm]

Thanks, and sorry to be absent. That's more about work circumstances; it's been an awkward month or so, and I do intend to come back once things shake themselves out.

This has also been my experience in Stack Overflow and in the Play Framework user group.
