they don't know me too well - how could they - since I have only been here a few months. How nice is that? To make a newbie like me feel comfortable here like that. So there are many nice and good people here, for sure.

Yea, on the other hand, I have noticed there are some jerks and assholes here too, negative people who seem to do nothing but insult others, and make negative comments. But you know what, they can be ignored, either figuratively or literally with the "ignore feature". I actually feel sorry for them, because they are probably miserable people in real life, and so they have to spread their misery around as best they can.

I would never let miserable people drive me away from a forum, or affect my own bright and positive mood, and so I also encourage those who are sensitive to come back and just ignore the negative ones, they have no power over you or anyone, truly, they are powerless.
