Bad interactions happen (source: they are people). I can definitely see being anxious to contribute after one.

not to forget moderators who "may" abuse their "powers"

i remember watching one of those youtube deep dive videos about, i think it was resident evil or silent hill, and how there was this main contributor to their wiki who was always notating references to circumcision and a lot of other people had a problem with it, and there was a lot of infighting in the edits to pages, does anyone know the video that i'm talking about? i'd watch it again tbh, like, guy was a little unhinged but i kind of felt he was at least a little right
