Why is there so much negativity in this space? Am I just totally out of touch with reality, or are the forum rules totally disregarded with unpleasant attacks being the norm? It seems like no-one can get involved, or ask a question without a gang of trolls jumping in and hijacking the thread.
I feel like I am partially responsible because I haven't been doing this enough but we should all be emailing the moderator more often: report@thechainlink.org
The forum rules are very clearly posted and I feel like there is a group of posters whom should clearly be warned or booted due to their disagreeable style of discourse.
I feel like our community deserves better.

Being thin-skinned I have dealt with people like the bullies on this forum for my whole life. Why do I bitch about them? Because I know that ignoring a bully is exactly what they want. I know that bullying is a response to being scared and feeling that unless everybody else is scared that they might notice that there is something wrong with you.
I like this site because it gives me an opportunity to show you how "thin skinned" I am in real life. I can look at your events and visit. I can meet you eye to eye and talk to you without the anonymity of this board.
I hope I can help you realize that you do not need to be afraid. That you can be a nice person and that there are people out there who care, even though they don't know you and you have given them every reason to dislike you.
I'll be coming for you. I will be hugging you. I will be smiling at you and talking to you. I will destroy your cruelty with my kindness. I can't wait.
I am John Jensen and I believe that we can be better monkeys. The Chainlink, the bicycling community, Chicago and the world deserve it. You deserve it. It'll feel goooooooooooooood.
XOXOXOXO
Only a true bully at heart would try to FORCE others to always give respect even where it wasn't due. Sometimes everyone needs to step back and realize that there is no right not to be offended by what others might sometimes say. It's time to Human Up and come to the realization that your right not to be offended doesn't squash the rights of others to speak their minds. Sure, it's nice to have a bit of decorum and social grace. But that only goes so far and it is a simple fact that some people will be offended by just about anything no matter how hard one tries. It is not the responsibility of people in a free society to walk on eggshells around the perpetually offended.
The only way that such a world can be achieved is to lobotomize everyone -or fill the entire atmosphere with G-23 Paxilon Hydrochlorate.
Oh my God!!!!
