A construction buddy of mine once told me "if you don't have thick skin, don't step into the fire." Meaning, if you can't deal with the shit people sling at you, don't bother poking your neck out.
Some of the people here that get the most criticism are the people that stick their neck out the farthest. Jamz, Undead, all the devs, and Larry are all great examples. These are all people who are trying to make the game better and to some extent are giving valuable lessons about life (human interaction). There will always be naysayers and shit-talkers, whether they are jackasses or not doesn't matter, you can always get something out of any interaction if you look hard enough.
For example, I don't mind saying I personally hated Undead for a long time. It was WolfSRB that said to me "he's really a nice guy if you talk to him from the perspective that he is a person, and not a dick." So i started talking to him on TS and found it to be both informative and hilarious. Sure there is a certain threshold for the amount of shit anybody can take, but there are gems from your detractors that the people sucking your nuts will never give you.
Anyways, Gl.
