The point I was trying to make, but completely didn't, was trolls and dicks make more trolls and dicks, typically while bitching about how much of an idiot someone is or how they're inadequate in some way. Wordy way of saying shit is cyclical.
Ah, okay. The way you worded your first post made it sound like you were blaming the community for your own personal problems. This makes more sense.
I actually made a post talking about a subject similar to this, saying how acting like a dick doesn't make situations better. It's here if you care to read it. It's a little off topic as it's mainly referring to the mod/user relationship, but I think there's something relevant to be taken out of it. My main point in that post (I made a post that was more relevant to this thread, but it was deleted in the name of housekeeping) is that if we want to change these forums and make them less of a harsh, disrespectful place, we need to be less harsh and disrespectful ourselves.
But anyways, if you're back to be constructive, then welcome back. I've seen you put effort into your, for lack of a better word, trolling threads, so hopefully that same effort will come back in a positive way.
