If they ignore me and I say, "oh, guess you're ignoring me then. ok." it's like me running over their dog and laughing about it. And when you ask a simple question or try to work as a team, you know, since a party is a group effort and not you playing solo....you deserve to have people throw insults at you.

So with some people having that thought pattern, it's what is nurturing that toxic environment. Asking someone a question isn't baiting. And I don't feel like arguing and baiting to show you what that really would look like. Maybe you or others say things you don't really mean or lie through your teeth, but I truly say what I mean and mean what I say at all times. There's never hidden agendas or anything else.
Why can't you just be humble and admit that your comments to that player could very easily be read as passive aggressive and that they probably viewed you as the toxic player.

I bet barely anyone reading those comments in chat would believe that you were just being curious. Choose your words more carefully next time or better yet, don't say anything at all (referring to your follow up comment).

Don't bring your want to just have a chat into this because If you typed what you said you typed I definitely would not want to be chatting with you. That is because I would never a have guessed that you were just wanting job advice and not having a dig.

I know you had good intentions and all but you literally caused someone to be salty and then complained about a salty community. You are not the victim in this scenario.
