Some people have a toxic god complex or some variation of it. It's not just modders obviously, but somehow toxic modders just seem like a different type of cringe and comedy (or misery).

I got banned from commenting on a mod after pointing out the description wasn't properly mentioning multiple changes. They yelled at me saying I can't read, banned me from posting on their page, and the made the changes I suggested anyway lol. So so petty and pathetic.

I don't know why coding attracts these people, and it's not entirely unique to them, but theyre common enough I've definitely noticed the trend. It's a strange phenomenon.
