Also, correct me if I'm wrong, John, but I've noticed that you wish to have users get more power in the system. Also, that you believe you'd be a good leader, outspoken for your cause as you are. You also receive a lot of hate from others.

To stop this, think of us people as lesser creatures (at heart, we all are, and our first response to ANYTHING comes from our more primal side). Think of the carrot and the stick game. The people will not stop insulting you if you whack them with the stick; they will just take the stick and whack you harder. Hand them the carrot, be the one to stop the stick cycle first, even if it seems stupid and unfair. They will stop going after you.

No I'm not kidding :P
