One thing I've noticed on other forums is that rules or no, "certain" people get away with a LOT of frankly abusive behavior... then when a new guy or someone who's not in the "inner circle" steps up, they're branded a troll or a troublemaker. .
Been there done that. Thats what I like about KD, I have seen a few posts here that when I saw them I thought "oh no, here we go" because they were made by a new maker who may not have known any different. From other forums I was conditioned to expect the usual beratement of said new maker. What I didnt expect was to only see real constructive critisism and heart felt encouragement.
I agree that with growth comes some pain, but like Boss said the written word doesnt always come across as intended. Most of human communication is nonverbal, and that is just not present online so the only way to avoid problems is to avoid the situations that cause them.
