Watched this kind of thing play out so many times. How people move when they have a little bit of influence speaks *volumes.* Even putting direct manipulation aside, owners that fail to weigh how power over access can skew social interactions can so easily create a toxic atmosphere.

The patterns in a lot of these communities I've witnessed it really just comes from someone feeling a sense of power for the first time in their life and taking it to the extreme, feeling they're owed so much from people and disposing of them so quickly. Why is it hard for people to be normal?
