progI would like to randomly note that I am really pleased and impressed with the ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
davis_square community.
* Compared to certain 0ther c0mmunities I could name, this one has remained relatively free of fotoshop-fratboy snarkery. (Though to be fair I just peeked in on that other one and it doesn't look as obviously dopey as it has in the past. Dunno if that's a trend or not.)
* When trolls do attack, they catch like wet matches on damp wood.
* It's all-around drama-resistant. It did have a blowout a few months ago, but came out of it wiser, and maybe even improved.
There's no magic; it's the people in it that are great, and who have set down a culture that inspires continued coolness. As another school year starts and I see another round of young newcomers phasing themselves in fairly smoothly, I have to smile.
