Anyone reading this will know exactly the kind of place they are getting into.
Naturally, there are actually plenty of friendly and helpful people here, but this tends to be the way the cookie crumbles on internet gaming communities. I'm not invested enough to be upset by any of this, just a little bemused at the level of 'passion' of some responses here.
I suppose the next step would be to profusely apologize for being a dumb noob with busy RL schedule, who dared to share some thoughts on my experience here after being rightfully murdered for other's amusement and scull count.
