I mean, think about it, why did any of these need to be posted:





Arguably (though this one isn't as bad):

The person was just posting their guide and was getting trashed by people who could have just said "I disagree a bit about something, but good guide overall. Nice work."
And yet, I was the one person defending them:
Ignore the haters, some people just want to insist Healers are braindead (the reason for this is to get them changed into being more like DPSers, because these people want to play something like a DPSer in this game); your guide is great. Thanks for sharing it! o/
Every time anyone posts anything about Healers that's positive, out of the woodwork come the attacks about braindead, easy, etc etc. No one ever goes "Well, you like them, good for you" or "I don't quite share your opinion, but I can see what you're thinking of and am happy you're happy". Nor do folks like you ever call out the knee-jerk "HEALERS IN FFXIV ARE BAD DESIGN AND TERRIBLE ETC ETC!!" when they're posted ad nausea.
Different discussions. Not EVERY discussion in the Healer Role forum needs to be "Healers are terrible, lets get more DPS buttons". It gets old REALLY fast and creates an artificial echo chamber since anyone disagreeing is either drowned out or bullied into silence or leaving.

No, because I didn't make comments like those when I first came here (because I wasn't annoyed and jaded at dealing with all the incessant beating of the "Healers are bad design/boring/horrible" dead horse yet), and I still got attacked just as much. One of the other posters (who I don't see anymore) even reported every one of my posts and got me a week ban after harassing me in every thread and, by reporting literally every one of my posts, got exactly one for the Devs to give me a brief ban over.

I get attacked because I disagree with the majority here. It's why nothing short of me capitulating will lead to peace with some people, like Ty.
I mean now you're quoting some innocuous posts, which have nothing at all to do with you, and equating them to "trashing" someone's blog, in fact totally ignoring (at least in mine)- where I said it was fairly good - before offering some criticism - then you go on to how there are "haters" , how you are "annoyed and jaded" and how you "feel personally attacked".

This really comes off like you're blowing off steam, not as someone who is a victim.
