"Everyone's so open and friendly" is a lie

[Nyarlha]

I've ended up in a duty twice with a notoriously obtuse poster that fails to understand the basics of math or seasons and they were nice, helpful and 'pogging off' performance wise, so to speak
I just think some people give the forum too much weight, like many of the people who criticize SE or aspects of the game, or the players and/or community, are usually completely "normal" in game, tbh

People just fall too easily for forums personas/trolling. A huge part of this forum is so contrarian that it just motivates those people to post huge baits to get a rise out of them. They can't resist but go full "Ackshually...!" when they read something they disagree with.

I wouldn't go as far as to say that everyone who's not fitting in with the majority is trolling or using a persona, I think most people are just speaking their mind instead of keeping quiet around here, even if it's an unpopular opinion - though the forum certainly does have quite a few trolls/gimmicks, i.e. titanmen with his lgbt stuff the last few months or the aforementioned player trolling regarding prime numbers or when fall begins and whatnot, though those threads are super obvious in the first place (and still get 2000 pages because ???)
