I'm not sure I can, nor do I think I want to continue to, make excuses for people's rude behavior. Over my time here I have heard so many different theories about, excuses and justifications for, and deep levels of understanding regarding, people displaying what simply amounts to really shitty behavior as they try to immediately establish their ego and presence in a completely new public space. I'm not sure anything more needs to be understood about such individuals that isn't blatantly obvious.
I left Hell to find peace and seeing people bring Hell with them into the garden that is CoSo is not something I have patience or understanding for. These people clearly have no patience or understanding for OTHERS when they act this way, but I'm supposed to have epic levels of understanding for their lack of self-awareness, control, and empathy? Sorry but I'm all out of that. I only have patience and understanding for people who make an effort to be better people for the sake of others.
