I just got kicked from a dungeon because of the sounds my Lala makes when she attacks

Except it's not. Telling someone "don't let it bother you" is not the same as excusing or defending the actions of someone who does something stupid or mean-spirited. If AxlStream or Melichor or myself had said "What that guy did was fine; not against the rules" - THAT'S defending him. But telling OP to not let it bother them? Not a defense. Differentiate between the two, please.

So what do you do? If you really feel like you have to "take action": report, and then move on. What else can you do? Making a thread that is now 12 pages isn't going to make people stop. Nor will it do anything to the offender.

You can report, vent to your friends, make a post in the Tales of the DF thread, and go about your day. Or you can wallow and let it get under your skin. Which are you going to choose? I'd prefer the first option. People like this guy aren't worth my time.

The thread is 12 pages long because people find it worth discussing, on one side or the other, or are trying to offer up some kindness to the op, etc. They didn't make a 12 page post, they made a simple post that people found worth discussing. Why shouldn't they have made their own post about their own incident and instead of posting in a thread of over 2000 pages? Agree with the spirit of your sentiment though - don't let jerks ruin your day, in game or out. But I do believe there are consequences for our actions - both good and bad.

No, we shouldn't let negative experiences stick to us and should let everything be water off our collective backs - but we're human. Sometimes things happen that are not as easy to readily let go of, for whatever reason. Telling someone there was no need to make a perfectly valid post on an internet forum expressing frustration isn't going to help anything, either. If it were an inappropriate place for them to do so, the forum moderation team can handle that.



I admit, I stopped reading the rest of your post there because of this line:

Differentiate between the two, please.

Maybe you should be less aggressive in your choice of words - you're not the forum's parent or police.
