Yep. This mirrors my personal painful experience of the English Wikipedia and a sad fact of where internet based society is right now.
If you want to complain about being harassed on Wikimedia projects, as the target of harassment, you have to be *absolutely* squeaky clean. Otherwise you get hauled over the coals for every intemperate response to trolling you have ever made, and your complaint will be taken off on endless tangents until you wished you had just resigned without bothering to say anything.
