Thank you for taking the time for introspection, for making an effort to be a positive locker room presence, and for sharing how it has helped you find greater enjoyment in the league. My personal experience has also been that I have the most fun when I am encouraging others to enjoy themselves as well!

While I always grew up on the “golden rule” — treat others how *you* would want to be treated — I have more recently learned the importance of the “platinum rule” — treat others how *they* would want to be treated. The platinum rule reminds us that people come from different backgrounds and have different interests, goals, and expectations and so assuming that they want what you want is often narrow-minded (even if well-intentioned). This is readily applicable to this league, where we have users who all have different histories/experiences with the league and different goals and expectations for their players. 

Thank you for sharing and for helping create a space for me to reflect on my own experience in the league.
