The do-it yourself mindset of its members seems to dictate much of the behavior on this forum. Nothing is seen as being out of reach or inaccessible, every system can be manipulated, any system made by another man can be duplicated with a good amount ingenuity and tenacity. And given that a good 85% of the people on the forum have this mindset you don’t have anyone who is weak willed and willing to stand down to anything, be it a task or an argument. Going back to the original method of hazing, the desirable response from the members of the forum would have been to counteract this attack with a quick witted smart-*** comment. Not to the point where they can tell you’re actually insulted, so you retaliate with some lame childish vulgarity. No, that’s not the method at all. By saying something witty they can tell you’re strong willed and not easily offended, as the easily offended usually start drama and genuine conflict within the forum. Proving you’re strong willed, and not easily offended usually correlates with a few things as well. One being that you’re willing enough to research an idea that you have on your own, and that you’ll stand up and defend any idea that you may have without bringing emotion and slander into a technical argument, and you’re not willing to submit yourself to any power that most would perceive as authority, unless they have some kind of intellectual respect for that person and feel that they are in the right, but never predisposed without questioning.
