Jason Fincanon is busy again posting about Flash. This time it’s not about anything code related.  It’s about elitism amongst the Flash communities top echelon. I can’t say that I disagree with him.  Knowing Jason, he dislikes the arrogance that some people fling about.  Talented as they are, some of the Flash community developers have that air of self importance.  They cling to each other as the top dogs in their field and, with witty words, gather quite an audience.  Then you meet these people, or you try to express something to them that you feel in all earnest is something useful to the community, only to be ignored.  Of course this happens in so many areas of life, but it appears to be a growing issue in our community of developers.  Hopefully it doesn’t go beyond what we’re seeing now, but hearing it come from Jason lets me know I’m not the only one feeling this way.  And judging from the reaction of others on his blog and Twitter, I’d see there are quite a few of us.
