My faith in humanity has been restored.<\/p>\n
No, wait, I’m wrong. \u00a0It’s all gone to shit.<\/p>\n
Once more friendly users have struck. \u00a0Those who demand a mile but won’t budge an inch. \u00a0Those who cry unfair while managing to be insulting.<\/p>\n
It’s a finely crafted skill, I’m convinced of it. \u00a0People can’t be this pathetically successful at … well, being so pathetic. \u00a0It must be something people actually plan out and do rather than just successfully stumble upon that winning irritating formula again and again.<\/p>\n
It does really make me wonder why I bother to run a web site, and the biggest driver behind continuing is that I’d be letting a lot of people down if I quit. \u00a0I know there are a lot of silent but happy users, and the crap it is often briefly punctuated with periods of enjoyment; either stemming from vocal grateful users, good RP’ing, or implementing a particularly nifty or well received feature, but when the shit really starts to get me down, the one thing that stops me chucking a hissy fit and throwing in the towel is all the users, and that’s kind of a sad state to be in.<\/p>\n
It also makes me wonder where I get my patience from, and why I don’t ban more people more often. \u00a0Why I insist on try to explain this to users, why I persevere with trying to be helpful to those who just won’t accept any help. \u00a0My patience amazes me, but I’ve got to impress someone, no?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
