Fairly deep subject for the forums but, it's something I have always felt compelled to write. Perhaps now is the right time (and so, please do not derail such a thread if you don't quite get what the below is talking about).
You see...I suspect that A LOT of dudes out there, are dealing with (or have dealt with) A LOT of personal junk going on inside of 'em. Looking back on things now, I think POTCO had as many problems as it did with male pirates because a lot of young dudes were:
In hindsight, I think a lot of what occurred was the result of the struggle which happens when a grown boy desires to become a MAN. *To this day even, I strongly believe that a lot of guys within our community are still struggling to understand not only themselves but also their own place/role within this world. Anyway, if you are a guy and you want to give someone else some advice on what has helped you to mature into the MAN you feel you have become today...speak up because it's quite obvious to me that the ladies have us all figured out even though we assume that they don't.
"Man Up," and do it today (here) ye scallywags!

- Showboating/showing-off
- Peer pressure/had a need to feel accepted online by others
- Thoroughly enjoyed disruptive behavior (i.e., smack talk, 'hacking,' role-playing dramatics, etc.)
- Allowed their competitive side to get the best of 'em
