If you post on here you'll get your fair share of abuse just like everyone else and if you handle it maturely you may earn a little respect.

A lot of people here have been fucked over hard by some programs who don't post much cause they would just generate a lot of hate, and other programs have caused significant damage to the industry, which is something that hurts us all. Since we can't harrass them directly (they know better than to come around here and get what they deserve) the hate is directed at any known associates, or former associates.

Unfortunately "I wasn't there during that time" and "I don't work there anymore" are common excuses that are just a little too convenient to just accept at face value, so they aren't going to deflect much hate.

If for some reason you stick around long enough to get known for something else instead you may get somewhere though.
