I've been lurking here for a couple years, now. I have to say, I have never felt that way about this site. I don't find people stuck up at all. In fact, I find people quite generous towards each other, and tolerant, too.
I have never felt confident using my actual face and name on an internet forum, before, with the exception of Facebook, where I can control who has access to me. But I feel confident enough here. I think it fits the "everyone included" attitude that embodies the whole MAC philosophy, and I really like that about Specktra.
Sometimes, as with some of the stuff in that Livejournal post, people perceive things inaccurately, often reflecting their own multitudinous inner dialogue of insecurities onto those around them. It's a sad situation, but others cannot be responsible for these mis-perceptions: sad, but true. These are the same people who say they are habitually treated badly by sales clerks at makeup counters.
Anyway, I visit this site obsessively, and any time I want to pitch in my 2 cents, I always feel more than welcome, and that what I've said is actually read and considered. That's good enough for me!
