I think its true, and I've found that I'm one of those who don't fit in with the "SQL Server crowd." I'm interested in technologies besides SQL Server, I don't really lean the same way politically, and some of the things I see posted by the database community are, well let me just say I don't necessarily assign the same weight to some of the assertions I see being made, although its important to me that I try to understand and accept that I'm the outlier here.

None of these things mean I don't want to improve my skills and knowledge with SQL Server however.
