D community is single most friendly and helpful place I have ever 
seen in the internet. However, friendliness is something that 
goes both ways. If person continuously ignores any internal rules 
of conduct, demands any special attention or behaves explicitly 
hostile, such person has no value for community. It does not 
matter if is trolling or simply bad attitude, does not matter if 
enthusiasm is real.

Such cases happen time to time but at the same time much more 
people are coming and asking questions and getting help and 
attention without any single harsh word. It is all about attitude.
