I reflect upon the harassment I receive for being new once a week and think to myself: "Are these people trying to project their repressed feelings to me?"
The ones they were too afraid to express when they were the 'newbags' themselves? Anger; angst; loneliness; alienation; confusion; blindness; fear. Trying to give the new forumers a piece of their own darkness, the one they once lived themselves; perhaps 4 years ago, perhaps 2 years ago, or perhaps 6 months ago, it doesn't matter when it was, all I know is that the endless chain of abuse continues regardless. Is worsening someone else's forum experience an obligation of some sort? Making them fall in the same vicious circle as yourself, destroying the purity in their soul. The purity of simply coming here, foruming as a normal person, and having FUN. What FUN is there in being endlessly harassed and then doing it yourself after several months/years? None. It's a futile attempt at mimicking the ones who caused you the same pain, now you're causing it to others users. You have became the monster, you. You can destroy the vicious circle right now, but that depends on you and your own resents and experiences, I'm not the one to judge as I am human too. We all struggle. We have the same loves, passions, and hates; we were all born, we live, and we'll die. |

"the endless chain of abuse continues regardless". Do you expect a generation of OTers who were brought up on said abuse to end the chain? Do you think that this will ever be fixed? Nature is ruthless, and so are the forums.

I believe it can I myself have never been the one to continue this chain and I've been harassed severely quite the few times I've rejoined the forums
As I said, it all depends on your own conviction Are your resents grave? |

"As I said, it all depends on your own conviction". That is true, and I commend you for not being a cog in the machine any longer. What I am saying is there are a large number of users here who desperately cling to their old ways and refuse to accept change on any scale. We need to start changing the way WE act, and hope they follow in our footsteps.

Exactly You have to start the change yourself, to prove yourself as an example to the community
Many will follow, stopping the vicious circle whilst doing so
We cannot cling to the old days anymore |
