Our industry is teenager, unfortunately!
Some years ago the industry was a child, open for learning new things, experiment, disagree with others but ready to forgive and compromise. Now it is a teenager, showing off, , selfish, less communicative than ever and insecure. It all resembles highschool from US TV movie. You have school stars and their followers and you have rest of the crowd. Ridiculing others is popular amusement.
What kind of adult we will all become is yet to be seen. Our best chances of growing up into quality community is in establishing some kind of Communication Web Standards and supporting them as intensively as we have been supporting Web Standards, or HTML5 or any other technology that we as community believed that it was worth supporting.
