That was very pessimistic, but I can see some truth in it.

I don't understand why you'd find it "pessimistic."

Would it be more "optimistic" to ignore all the bad things this community has done with and to me? That's not a thing I'm capable of doing.

I do the work because I love it. The community hasn't welcomed me in any non-barbed way since the early 90s.
