Don't give me that, no one gives a damn about the the HUMAN behind the screen name, what's going on in their life, what their going through, what their mindset is while posting, or even trying to understand their point.

Not to sound like a dick but how are we supposed to know? I don't go around with a "guide to Kevin's life." There's no "updates on Kevin's life" feature of this website (is there?). I don't know how much work you put into this site all I hear is you bitch about it.
Nobody here dislikes you in fact I think it's quite the opposite. We all appreciate what you do but you don't really give anyone the opportunity to help you. From what I understand you like having totalitarian control of this site--which is fine--but you have to know that a lot of the stress you encounter is either self-inflicted or a matter of your personal life. I'm not trying to offend you either.
The fact of the matter is that this is the internet. I feel that certain personality traits of people are accentuated using this medium for communication while other traits become less dominant because we are not interacting in physical space. Anonymity becomes a tool for certain people--they enjoy being able to hide behind their online alias and often take bigger risks with their statements and opinions.
But what you have succeeded in doing in this website is bring people together. I may only know a few members real names on this website but there is a certain connection that I feel with those members that I don't get on other sites. It's because of the community that you've fostered here. I also believe that most of the regulars here have a great amount of respect for each other even though they have differing opinions. I've been a complete dickhole to Cheesey in a lot of the evolution threads but outside of that I completely enjoy his online presence (and I respect his opinions).
Other members have come asking for advice or hope in times of need--this doesn't happen online often unless there is a specific dynamic that allows all of a sites members to feel comfortable.
Zero...Kevin. You should feel proud of what you've accomplished with this website.
