It's par for the course, and I'm kind of shocked that anyone else is shocked by the community's reaction. It's like nobody has seen the mass drama and server die offs that happen with WoW RP, for example. You have to have a certain kind of mindset to cater to a community like that. I for one do what I do because it keeps me busy, and I'm not in a good situation to let my mind wander in regards to real life.
As far as being treated as a different class of people, well.. what exactly do you think making the rules and having the ability to ban people means? Again, par for the course. Those who wield the stick will always be looked down upon, whether its wielded justly or not. From a standpoint of principles I really don't disagree with many of the bans. I'm simply concerned from a pragmatic point of view that it isn't something Discovery has the raw numbers to handle, but I'll see where it goes and play my part 'til the end.
You're right. Silly me to think that receiving death threats and being told I'm scum multiple times a week (I'm not joking either) should be expected. Sorry, but everyone has their limit and what they can tolerate. I've reach my level.
