You have the ability to be a really nice person. Not just when you want to be, just 'cause you can be. Unfortunately, you don't seem to want to bend for people as they bend for you.

There's no king here. Yeah, there are administrators, but it's not the same. If you feel that making the "bad people" leave will be some sorta success, or "fixing" them will make things better, you got another thing coming.

This place is great 'cause of the people here. Not necessarily people like tye or demerphq, but right down to every single person who's spent more than 5 minutes to pitch in. It's like an orgy potluck. You remove the people, and everything goes down hill. They... we perlmonks. It's not the site. It's the community. You can't easily seperate the two. It's all the wrong suggestions that get corrected, all the innovation, the slapstick, the joy and the pain.

It cannot be bent to a new shape violently without creating a new thing that. It doesn't work that way, when everything here is voluntary.

I've seen the interactions between everyone here. It's almost like the workplace. Yeah, people may not like each other at times, but they don't go around flaming each other or picking fights. Frankly, you get very abrasive with people very quickly and escalate it, more so now than ever. Just let it go. No one goes around flaming you before this entire escalation. There’s no commodity to fight over.
