    Quite right. Obvious bad-faith topic. Report and move on.

    Dealing with bad-faith forum posters who tell you to quit or say your concern is in the minority:
    1. Do not engage in their bad-faith attacks.
    2. Warn others of their bad-faith if they have a long history of it.
    3. Continue the productive conversation and silently report them for personal attacks.
    Be firm but polite, recognize their tactics and don't fall into their traps.

    I wouldn't really say it's in bad faith, it just shows that some people are a little insecure about the discussion going on in that thread.

    Couldn't that argument be turned quite effectively around in pointing out how certain people feel the need to always drag down any positive threads that appear? Seems rather insecure when the naysayers aren't content with multiple threads in their negative echo chamber, but also have to descend on even the one positive thread that appears...

    This coming from the one forum member physically incapable of restraining himself from commenting on any thread that dares to touch upon Endwalker's flaws.

    Swooning over Venat isn't a problem. Descending into jabs at other players with differing views within the first response is hardly "positive", however.

    Lmao bruh you have a reputation around here for vehemently defending the game
    if you think that the game needs 'defenders", then maybe thats your entire problem.

    no one has ever said the game is perfect. There is no such thing as 'perfect game", all games have flaws. But when you descent to "black and white", "this game is bad and I say so so its true", thats where you need to step back and ask yourself if your standpoint is reasonable. People enjoy things you dont, so what.

    "Shill "white knight" "defender"...that people disagree with you seems to be a problem you cant get past.

    Maybe its time you did.

    You seem to think that it does, seeing as you frequently leap into action the moment you see the game receiving criticism. You also have a tendency to label those who are unhappy with the game's flaws as 'malcontents' or 'children'.

    "Hater" "malcontent" "children" ...that people have their own opinions on an online forum seems to be a problem you cant get past.

    Maybe its time you did.

    I notice you typing your responses but it feels like you don't read it before clicking on post quick reply

    AwesomeJr44 sums it up perfectly on the kind of person you are.

    Effectively? Not really.

    Questioning things like the convenient timing of a thread or pointing out a clear ulterior motive in its creation (not saying there is an ulterior motive here, I am referring to threads like the one that started with "I made this positive thread to combat all of the toxic negativity from the haters!"), isn't really being insecure about the thread. While I don't have a problem with appreciation threads (other than them not really fitting the forum's purpose), this one seems to have been made as a direct response to the discussion occurring in the Philosophizing thread, and if it was, it was most likely due to the OP being insecure about said discussion. Either that or it's a bait thread, or quite possibly a bait thread born from insecurity.

    I suppose it is true what they say about positive threads on the forums. There can never be a positive thread without it having been a reaction to a negative one.
