Don't squat with your spurs on. I'm kidding. Actually, I'm not. That's pretty sound advice if unrelated.
As far as advice goes? I'm pretty new myself, honestly, so I'm not sure I can give you the kind of advice that more seasoned atavists can It but it does get better. It seems across the board pretty shitty and some of us have better attitudes than others (news flash: mine ...could have used some improvement). But I'm being honest when I say it gets better. The atavist community is wonderful, even if your atavism isn't so great.
