Not to say I advocate this, but something I would hypothetically add: no matter how respectful, helpful, encouraging, creative, knowledgeable, or otherwise beneficial you are to the masses in this community, there will be people that hate you for no reason, whatsoever, and will dog you to the most obscure and lifeless thread in the deepest subforum. Ignore them, as such members often end up banned.
I'm both flattered and creeped-out
