I'm sorry you've had such a bad experience ChunYinZi. I really miss the days when you were more active on LMT but fully understand your reasons for taking a step back.
It's a shame that people have taken advantage of your considerable knowledge of all things Library only to behave in an unacceptable manner or profit financially from your goodwill. From what you say it is almost like a virus that has infected other forums but recently has now spread to LMT. You are well-known to members of this forum and have established a good reputation. I think I speak for everyone when I say that any attempt to damage that reputation will not be entertained here. All the very best.
nidostar, thank you for comforting me.
From when I joined LTM in 2022 until now, it's been three and a half years.
I can't even remember how many people I've helped or how many resources I've provided, but it's all been done of my own free will—no one forced me.
In China, many fellow enthusiasts have offered me comfort. Since 2017, we've gradually connected and even met in person. We respect and acknowledge each other.
Yet there's an old Chinese saying: “A tall tree catches the wind.” Once you gain influence within a circle, some will resent you. They'll question your qualifications or abilities—especially when you can't meet their demands.
I can also reveal that some of the individuals I mentioned earlier—those I've blocked or silenced—also have accounts on LTM. They frequently post questions in the “Track IDs” section, yet receive no replies. Since I recognize them, I certainly won't respond.
But these people have even spread rumors, claiming I bribed LTM users to deliberately ignore their messages.
I find such rumors utterly frustrating. Their psychological maturity seems no higher than a 12-year-old's.
Out of privacy concerns, I won't disclose their LTM IDs.
I just want to say: in everything you do, be true to your own conscience.
