    The reason alot of people are fed up with how you post is you respond what it seems like every thread out there usually disagreeing with the position. This is what is getting you attacked.
    I don't "usually disagree." I disagree with things that i think are bad ideas or unnecessary. If someone posts a good idea or makes an intelligent comment I happily support it- and in such cases, usually with a 'Like' more than an actual comment.

    And your defintion of white knighting is taking to the extreme,
    No, it's not taking to an extreme. That's what white knighting is. If you're not defending something, you can't be white knighting. That's what a white knight does, hence the meaning of the phrase.

    Responding to each and every small change that someone wants with a "well they dont have to fix that" is what annoys people, and brands you as a white knight.
    Again you say this, but I don't actually do that.

    Stop doing that and respond to only major issues with a dissenting opinion and i bet alot of those attacks stop.
    In other words, I have to either not comment, or blindly agree with everything I see in order to not be branded. Got it.

    Blindly agreeing is just as bad as white knighting. *You* along with everyone else here needs to stop acting as if I disagree just to disagree- this is not the case, has never been the case, and will never be the case.

    So you agree that there are alot of others on this board that dislike how you post. So then by that logic you would have to accept that you are doing something to garner all this negative attention. I'd be willing to go on a limb and say that your making people mad by doing something, and thus your getting negative criticism.. Whether its disagreeing to just disagree, responding to post you dislike etc is semantics at this point.

    Its pretty obvious from many posts ive seen you seem to have answer for everything that is wrong or not wrong with this game. Whether your right or wrong in any of that doesnt matter.

    Id say we can come to the conclusion that you are doing something that is getting you all this hate, something your saying, something your doing. No one is telling you to stop posting but i think this could be an accurate assumption. And if you really are tired of getting negatively criticized a valid option would be to just reduce your presence here.

    And if you dont want to do that maybe just picking your battles (case in point is our correspondence thus far) a little better would help alot.

    Following a little of your own advice would help a lot, as well.

    There are plenty of people on this forum I don't care for- but I don't call them out and attack them for it. In the manner you reach out now, that may not have been your intention but that sure is how it came across.

    I don't ask you or anyone else in particular to like me. I do however ask that if you don't, then just blacklist me and keep it to yourself. The result would be a lot less drama and a lot less derailed threads.

    I challenge you to find anyone on any game forum who posts their opinion or ideas who DOESN'T think they have answers to the problems they are discussing who isn't just called out for "QQ'ing." Anytime I've seen someone complaining about something but not voicing some kind of opinion on a solution for it, they've gotten just as much hate and gotten called out for whining.

    So the options you are presenting people are to either agree with everything the overly vocal minority has to say, whine ignorantly and give no opinions so they can be called out for crying about something, or stop posting to avoid getting hate?

    This place is hitting a lot of new lows...
