Well truth be told I got caught up in it a few times. It was easy to do, I was new to the forums and newly sober (and not always sober, at that). My life was unstable, my emotions were unstable. And so I was easily influenced when this wasn't a stable environment. I was used to being whatever everyone around me wanted so I could get my drugs. Whatever was necessary to get drugs, I could find a way. A car? Sure. Money? No problem. Sex? Meet me in the back room. That's how I survived for a while so it was easy to fall into that pack mentality and be ticked off for no real reason other than everyone else around me was. Sticking around here was actually counter-productive for me, in my situation. I'm quite grateful for the rules (even when I occasionally forget about them), they really are necessary to keeping the SR forums productive.
