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

[Theodric]

We also know each other quite well given that we live together under the same roof. I'm sure there's a decent amount of people who have had lengthy discussions with us both in real time in-game or elsewhere who can attest to our actual existence as separate entities.

At this point, it's honestly getting pretty creepy to see how far removed from reality certain posters will position themselves in order to avoid acknowledging that some people simply don't think Endwalker was a satisfying conclusion to a decade long story.

Then again, this very same conspiracy theory is coming from the same Viera who openly fantasised about killing people who liked the Ancients, so...

I find myself disagreeing quite heavily with posters whom I have no personal beef with, when it comes to Endwalker...
And yet you'll never see me engage in behaviors such as this, it's insane to me. It's QAnon levels of conspiracy; it's assuming that someone who ordered cheese pizza at a particular restaurant was actually secretly indicating that they wanted to engage in certain unsavory acts levels of conspiracy.

I have to wonder what these kinds of people do in real life when two people hold the same disagreement.

Yeah, I'm happy to agree to disagree with people over a fictional story in a video game of all things - it's not really something worth getting extremely worked up over as far as I'm concerned.

To be clear - because I admittedly struggled to follow whatever narrative Lyth was trying to push - Lauront and I live together under the same roof and Kizuya is a mutual friend that we met through the game itself. So, yes, I can vouch that both of them are separate entities.

What's particularly bizarre is the insinuation that providing someone with lore sources is 'brigading'. I wonder if Lyth is going to accuse some of the streamers here - such as Anonymoose and Cleretic - of such next time someone approaches them to discuss the game's story/asks for a source from the lore book or some such.

Somehow I doubt it - because mysteriously these 'concerns' are only brought up whenever someone states that they think that the Ancients or the Garleans were done dirty. Some would disagree with that or be indifferent and that's perfectly fine. Though the more certain posters attempt to stifle opposing voices, the more likely it is that some of us will continue to seek to say our piece.

Wait how is Theodric restating that him and Lauront know each other ok and doesn't get a post removal, but when I ask if they've had a fight cause one of them posts a reply to a thread that came off like something was off it gets deleted? And don't give me naming and shaming cause poster and player names get dropped all the time. Anyway even if I have said that there are some similarities between a few people I've never went dang when did said known forum troll get bored enough to slip into the lore section again? Considering that the rare time they do visit this part of the forum it's just to necro a thread or two and the majority just seem to ignore it.

I'm curious as to why you want such a post to be removed in the first place? Are you concerned that the attempt at defamatory commentary and harassment fell flat? Also, no, it isn't necessarily 'trolling' for someone to revive a discussion thread as new information comes to light regarding the ongoing story.

I had a post removed and didn't get anything like you normally do when you get in trouble by the mods that had been asking if Lauront had had an argument with you as he had replied to a thread I had made in such a way that didn't fit with how he normally posts while trying to politely ask him from refraining of bringing up a certain topic in the thread as said topic didn't have anything remotely to do with what was being discussed. I'm just wondering why mine got deleted is all as I said I didn't get an email about it like you normally do when the mods feel that you've crossed the line. It's why when I did reply next in said thread I didn't mention names. Though thanks for that tidbit about Kizuya. I doubt the three of you and myself will ever see eye to eye or even agree on things but I always have enjoyed seeing the takes you have on things and to see what if any the two and now I guess the three of you might have about a subject. When I meant trolling I meant what Titanman and their alts do while bored out of their minds. Which tends to be looking for old posts that normally is about a subject that isn't the case anymore like some threads they've necroed from 2013 of problems the game doesn't have anymore. I also don't want your post deleted.
