When I joined, I was a Communist; now I'm a moderate libertarian.
When I joined, I was religious; now I'm an agnostic atheist.
When I joined, I believed that the offensive should be avoided in humor; now I believe that nothing is sacred, especially that which is sacred.
When I joined, I was a 16-year-old breaking the age rule; now I'm a moderator and have banned dozens of people for not getting away with what I did.
When I joined, I had faith in humanity and believed that people could change things with hard work and relentless effort; now I understand that almost every company, business, and institution in the world is a bureaucracy set up to make change impossible unless it is ordered from the top.
