Thanks. I don't mind, and I appreciate the positive sentiment. Please don't mind my ranting here; I used to communicate with this particular troper over on that site, so when he asked me, I really wanted to tell him exactly why I was cut off from there so abruptly, and why I thought the moderators dealt with it in a way that came off as really unfair, and most of all, disrespectful. Hoenstly, I've kind of wanted to vent about it since joining here, but I didn't want to risk bombarding him with unwanted details against his will, so when he asked me about it, I felt like I finally knew for sure that it was okay to express it all.

And yes, I'd say things have already turned out much better here. I don't feel like I've had a single negative incident, not even a minor one, since joining in April. Over there, on the other hand, I felt like I couldn't make a single statement that could be taken the wrong way, had to be as good at doing complete monster effort-posts as those who were more experienced to gain any respect, and had to tolerate so much unnecessary profanity in spite of their ridiculous strictness about other things, which made me feel like my moral values meant nothing there, and would give other tropers a reason to look down on me. I think when it comes down to it, even if they don't mean to come off like this, their moderators are just so strict that they come off as bullies who look down on anyone who can't live up to their lofty standards, and are simply not willing to cooperate or sympathize with anyone they can't understand.
