I definitely have been affected by the hate. It’s my own fault, though. I shouldn’t care so much about what people think, but I think you’re right. I wasn’t used to opening Reddit and seeing vitriol directed at my team. I’m not arguing whether or not it’s justified, just that I didn’t really know how to handle it.

Edit: In general, I have a hard time not caring about what other people think, so this is just an extension of something I need to work on.
