Lore Forum Decorum - Just What is Meant by Good/Bad Faith?

[Lauront]

Such as, for example:

I stand by what I said and by what Theodric said there. After seeing several lore discord meltdowns over minor character disagreements (or worse yet, when it devolves into constant moralising and then bringing in highly contentious RL politics while just expecting everyone to suffer in silence), and friends being stalked or harassed for their views on characters or factions in the game over reddit or twitter, as well as people avoiding this forum because they did not enjoy the way discussions are conducted, I have little inclination to alter my views. I for one do not bother very much with this subsection of the forum anymore, so whether you accept my words or not, it matters little to me.

This does read as you encountering negative drama over lore discussions in other venues, and then importing that negativity here to the Official Forums lore discussions. (The comparisons to Meteion do come to mind, but I assume everyone else can also see it, so no need to elaborate, and it's tangential anyway.)

If there's a reason for Lauront and Theodric or anyone to think that negativity or hatred from other venues is here, simultaneously then I can understand their inclination to be pithy and distant. That's their prerogative.

Receiving a credible death threat would be pretty alarming to me. I've never received one online, so it must be spooky. If someone on another venue mentions that they frequent another forum that I'm on, but doesn't identify who they are on that forum, then I'd be on edge too.

But hopefully for my transgression, people's minds are at ease at least when talking to Theodric, so we don't have to hang on it. Don't be surprised if Lauront and Theodric still do. I don't blame them.
