I mean you have a 81:9 up/down ratio on your original post at the moment and almost only good comments. Don't get pulled down by the negative ones, as there will always be negative people posting bad and mean stuff.

Edit: What also doesnt help is that almost half of your comments on other peoples answers is you judging the community and their answers. Its like you still see yourself as an outsider, rating the friendlyness of the people.

I saw that post and most of the people were being quite nice and even supportive of the idea. After going back and reading most, if not all, of the comments, the vast majority were either neutral, supportive or gave good criticism in a nice manner.

I wonder why are you blowing this out of proportion. Some of your replies don't even make sense given the comment you reply to.

I think most comments were generally helpful or at least sharing their experiences when faced with a similar problem.

The openly critical responses were downvoted.

I'm not a member of the community, but I think you might be a little unfair calling it not nice.

Maybe, just maybe, reflect.

I feel like the majority were fairly supportive and the people who said you're probably going to continue with arguably bad habits were met with quite sudden hostility from you.

It's a fair opinion to state that while your idea has merit, there are reasons we have certain accepted keyboard layouts, and maybe learning to tidy up your typing habits would be beneficial in the long run.

I scrolled through every comment and not much of it seemed very hostile, just the ones where you came back at them quite aggressively.

You asked a fair question, and all the direct replies were reasonably fair also, it just devolved into an argument later (in my view).

My guy, I'm supportive of your idea and search for a keyboard with those extra keys. It's just... you've been and are still being super defensive about it, and definitely blowing it way out of proportion.

Yes, I agree, you shouldn't have to learn to touch type perfectly to get into split keyboards. No, the people telling you to chill out a bit aren't the same people that are telling you to learn how to touch type.

You're being critical of a community that is mostly supportive, just because of a minority of elitists.

As you can see, a lot of us disagree with your actions so far, yet we're still being nice about it. Again, the people telling you to chillax are still supportive of your search for your split keyboard.

Stop replying to every comment that even so slightly misaligns with your own opinion of the community. Stop painting proper feedback as villainous enablers of the elitist few.

Just chillax, take what you want from the comments, thank the supportive ones, and move on.

Lmfao at this person going nuts over seemingly nothing. Hopefully they can find a manager to speak to.

the main character syndrome is wild

That's unfortunate. I've always had a positive experience, and I don't even have an ergo keyboard (yet)

Got a link to your introduction?

Welcome to the Internet. You're going to find assholes with crappy opinions here. It's a bad idea to get defensive and combative with that minority, which is exactly what you did in this case.

One time I used two full keyboards next to each other. It was a little wide but still more comfortable than T-Rex posture.
