Let me give you the most diplomatic answer I can.
I don't take any massive notice of mine, because I'm far too focused on and appreciative of the great information we have across the site.
Looking at everyone's reaction to your posts in this thread, I'd suggest to you that it would be a very good time for you to return to enjoying the 99.9% of the site you do like, and worry much less about the insignificant part you don't.
IBJoel does a fantastic job in advocating for this site, so your attacks on him and his concept are grossly unfair and misplaced. In other words, it's time to leave this alone, please.

I have not attacked anyone on this thread. I've said the badges are childish and stick to that opinion.
In post 46 I made that clear and it appears many agreed.
The poster that you mentioned then brought age into it which is why it got a little heated.
Hopefully the site will outlive the badges but with an aggressive attitude towards seasoned travellers it makes it a little more uncertain.

Out of respect for your post I'll make this my last on this thread.

a list of threads but when I tried selecting the new icon (seemed obvious) nothing happened, so I asked.
