Earlier quoted context omitted.

I wish self important mean nerds, who were abused in school, IRCed less. #python and #golang have become horrible, at least last I checked.

Isn't this wish rather selfish as well? Rather than spending time, becoming a contributor yourself and effectively showing them a better way, you want them to disappear.

It is. Have you done that? Does it work?

Becoming the example that people want to emulate? Yes, it does work, but it's a lot harder. The key is to do it in little increments everyday. The more influence you have, the more you'll be able to sway a person's opinion. Growing this organically is the challenge.
