I've found the Clojure community at large to be well reasoned in general and very intelligent. KirinDave's posts may be a little hot, but I think it is a sign of growth for Clojure. Ruby/Rails also had (has? ;-) ) a problem with smugness as it was gathering rabid following. Let's hope that this is a sign that Clojure is also building up a gathering of all sorts of interesting characters :-)
