A long long time ago I was a moderator at a (mostly) teenagers' forum. And back then my personality morphed into a state that may talk like that. I'm not proud of it. It lasted for a half a year or so, before I recognized that I became a jerk. I still feel the shame. I hope though that it was a good for me to see how power corrupts. I hope I'm immune to it now. But it is sad to see it in RMS.
