I seem to have been able to finally translate the word "toxic". It means: a person who doesn't care about my feelings at all.



“Fuck you, you little smegma gargling toe jam peddler.” <- Not toxic. It’s just an insult plain and simple.

It’s not about feelings at all. One is about them as a person the other is about their work.

It’s more “shut-up unless you can pass this arbitrary list of qualifications I just made up.”

To newbie/outsider there is no way to evaluate these claims. Are they valid or should I just blow them off?

So they just quit. The community. Forever.
