I've been an active member of the community, and indeed one of its strongest defenders for quite a while now. I'm well-known by most of the users here, I've been really active on chat, I've been really active on the forums, and I've been hugely active on the writer's workshop.

All of that being said, I still defend this community. Granted, we can seem overtly hostile at times, and frankly, the chat was the worst part of that. But I still stand by the opinion that this community isn't by any means worthless. Many of us are curators, certainly, and even more of us have become idols for good writing. As has already been stated, our original purpose was an archive. A library. But we've evolved far beyond that.

We are a community, whether you like it or not. If we weren't, if we didn't have some measure of care, the Writer's Workshop wouldn't work.
