I do a great job with that aspect of my job. But I do use my blog to vent and to inform others on what this type of work can bring. I also believe that no community or forum is the same. In fact, one cold argue that forums are a different beast altogether. We all have similar experiences but none are the same. Hi there Alesa: I have sucked it up, trust me.

Do you realize that anyone who manages a forum, I'm talking to a lot of volunteers out there who maintain forums in different parts of the industry, get all that abuse and work for free? Suck it up. At least you get a shiny paycheck at the end of the day. There are those of us who do this because we LOVE it and the passion drives us rather then the $$$. You get paid to do a job.
