@Rook said in A Constructive Thread About People We Might Not Like:

Here's a question... how does someone like this come back into the community and NOT try to do so, if their intention is pure and honest, anonymously? Doesn't the consideration of that question lend some credence, one way or the other, to understanding intent?

You could come out and admit your past shitty behavior. @Tinuviel did that at some point, and most people have forgotten what he did. I've done some shit too, and I've been called on it.

The instant person aside, a lot of people have done shit things in their time, and have admitted to the shit they did. And most of us are pretty forgiving people. The unrepentant shits either leave forever (Seanan McGuire) or find some way to worm their way back in. And it is absolutely infuriating that people let the latter happen.
