Usually though, like in the case with asdgasd, when they became a genuine person, they also became far less needy; the neediness is largely just anxiety at not being understood.
As for my own motives, I guess restoring balance, and prevention of disrupting folks in #padre's productive dopamine cycles, was my primary goal.
Also I guess there's some reciprocating going on here; people has treated me gently when I was young (~10 years ago) when I first joined #perl, when my English was really poor and can't communicate well.
The language barrier made some of my utterances sound close to trolling, but Elaine Ashton in particular was very kind to me, which steered me into improving my English and doing creative/constructive work. So I guess I'm just passing on her tradition. :-)
