I see the post more as a manifestation of insecurity than ego (needing external validation in the face of criticism). That said, I think the overwhelming show of support for Hal was fairly predictable given his stature on the Board, and I assume Hal expected the same, which does kinda beg the question why post in the first place. Anyhow, the thing I found most interesting in Hal's post was his statement that there was something "off" about people who don't publicize their collections which I thought would be an interesting touchstone for further genuine discussion, but it doesn't seem to have gained much traction.
