Took the words right out of my mouth. I hate it when people do that others, especially with those who are younger or have less experience. The whole stamping out any joy or enthusiasm some people strive to do makes me want to break my fucking keyboard in half. Communities should encourage younger or less experienced people, not break them. What the fuck do people get out of making things less fun for other people.

I remember talking with someone who's majoring with media and communications and they expressed the same sentiment. That they don't think kids should have such easy access to the Internet and the attitudes of certain people in fandom communities will only add to stressful situations.
