    It's a good rule, but it should apply to everyone, not just the people that are being aggressive towards someone equally aggressive.

    How about "If you're going to respond to people aggressively, expect to be treated the same"? Let's not pretend that Stormy is a ray of sunshine on these forums. If we're sticking to old school biblical references, let's go with "you reap what you sow".

    I understand Stormy now, so I don't personally have any issues with her, but don't pretend she hasn't given as much nastiness as she's gotten.

    I treat everyone how I'd want to be treated...until they give me reason not to.

    A lot of the vitriolic responses I give are to people either straight up telling people to quit because they dislike X or X which at this point is the most obnoxious response possible, you are providing no decent feedback to the person complaining, you provide nothing by telling them "haha you dont like island sanctuary ? just quit bro !!" You're literally just being a nuisance and trying to make the complaint/feedback invalid by just telling them to quit (to clarify I am not saying you're doing that, I am talking in general)

    I give vitriol to people giving me or others vitriol in 95% of the cases if you look, and I dont see why I wouldnt.

    My point was some people can't "see the forest for the trees" so to speak, so instead of engaging with Storm's point they'll proceed to ignore it and hyperfixate on something else/just attack Storm. I'm not saying Storm has been perfect, one of my previous posts in this thread even said he was abrasive. But I just don't like the whole "disregard point because of poster" nonsense. If you don't like the poster just don't engage, it's not hard.

    I've been wasting my life on Ark Survival Evolved (bad game don't play it) and my friend wants to play more Outlast Trials so I'll try to remember LOL

    Yes I agree respect is a two way street, but if you're just going to resort to childish levels of "I'm gonna get this poster I hate!" then you might as well not even respond instead of twisting what the person says or, you know, doing the thing you are against.

    Edit: As an aside I took a peek at some of Stormpeaks more recent discussions and this Stormpeaks seems fine to me. Wish I knew this Stormpeaks months ago. So maybe there is somthing to taking things one day at a time. She (he?) seems like any other poster so maybe I'm a bit outdated.

    Removed my earlier content as there really is no need to critique her further for something that happened months ago.

    To Stormpeaks: I'm sorry I called you a troll in the past. I honestly thought that was your intentions. While things can get heated and we don't often agree, it doesn't make you a troll. I am able to own up to something I said or my own behavior that was wrong, so I can say that.

    This is a very good way to go about things. I typically try to be open minded to other people (not to the point of denying objective truth and reality, but as much as I can otherwise) but there are definitely a few posters on the forums that have given me a reason not to.

    The kinds of people who react to posters like Stormpeaks have a tendency to react in a manner that far exceeds how problematic the original post they're reacting to was. (assuming it really ever even was in the first place) Perhaps the saying should be "you reap what you sow, and then some more for good measure"

    I do wish that the forums in general would stop flinging around the word 'troll' so flippantly and save it for the people who are actually trolls. Perhaps this post here can serve as an example for others to follow.

    I mean, the forum of the game I used to play is so adverse to negative comments about the game that the CM/moderators will either edit the post, removing the negative remarks or simply outright ban the player who dared express a negative opinion in the first place.
    New world? i vaguely remember this being an issue with that game

    No hard feelings, glad you took a look at my latest discussions with people to see that you had the wrong idea at least to some extent, I am not the nicest poster on the forums, nor do I claim that lol, but my posts are actually not trolling, I have strong opinions and I defend them but I do think thats fair : p

    It's on me as well. I can be very stubborn and takes quite a bit to change my mind once it's set - but I was being overly dismissive of what you were actually saying. It's easy when someone (in this case me) is doing that to get irritated. I am glad I understand you more now and sorry again for unfairly judging you for too long.

    I was guilty of being pretty rude also in some of my responses to you.
