I think a lot of people would be rather surprised by who, exactly, is sitting behind the screen when it comes to individuals who choose to play MMO's. Though for obvious reasons - and especially given how volatile elements of this community repeatedly prove to be - a lot of us opt to keep silent on details regarding our private lives.

It's also very easy to claim to be pretty much anything under the veil of anonymity so anything revealed is going to be taken with a hefty pinch of salt in the first place. So any given statement may or may not be true but more importantly often it isn't really relevant to what's being discussed.

All that aside, I think Lunaxia has the right of it - after multiple pages of back and forth there's still bad faith attempts to frame criticism of the story as 'hate' and so the thread itself risks being entangled in a lengthy back and forth that ultimately doesn't amount to anything in the end.
