Steve certainly seems troll-proof!

Steve is a punk. If he was worried about winning a music business professionals popularity contest he wouldn'ta written "The Problem With Music" aka "Some Of Your Friends Are Probably Already This Fucked".
When you really, REALLY know what you're doing and what you want to do, it does bring a certain immunity from people randomly coming up and ordering you to want something else. It's a form of insecurity to not know what you care about, to defer to fashion. In that sense, security doesn't come from being exempt from challenges, it comes from knowing yourself.
You're known by your friends, but also by your 'enemies'. There's a lot of people out there that I wouldn't want to be anything like, same for Steve. I enjoy trying to stay very nice and polite no matter what's going on around me, but that's only another preference, and there's no reason Steve can't instead visibly gag on dreck if he sees someone uttering it (in his opinion).
Whether they in turn freak out or just shrug, tells you how secure THEY are.
If the bitching-at-Albini quotient gets too boring, no doubt something can be done about it. I'm picturing a UTFSF-forum that posts can get moved to en masse, so the people can look around at all the similar bitches and gripes and feel somehow validated
