Defending help vampires does not seem constructive to the idea of building a community. We use the "professional" criteria to cull the mass of content our contributors find most objectionable. There seems to be a disconnect between the "professional" intention and the way help vampires perceive it - to be fair, not understanding their own condition is prerequisite of being a help vampire. (Note: a previous version of this comment was fairly described as "judgmental" - this is a complete rewrite)

He was hired by Fog Creek... Not sure if that still counts

I think something is getting lost in translation here. This comment conversation doesn't make sense.

Do the links provided not work?
