2) I elected to take hostilities because of the tone. If you didn't mean the tone that came across, let me give an example that might've been closer to something you may have meant?

"With all due respect, why are you trying to convince random forum users that you're adequate at the game? I don't think it's not going to have the intended effect. As for achievements, why do you find these important for being stated?"

The way you worded things came across as already knowing my intentions and the "noone cares" spam and "good for you" is the same response as the toxic people I was responding to, so I assumed you were in that camp. Don't have condescending and dismissive vocabulary if you don't want to offend people and come off that way. I respond differently to accusatory statements over inquisitive one's or even sarcastic is technically fine and a lighter tone.

3) You're about to see one reason I often simplify my argumentation to what /should/ be blatantly obvious situations. But, here.

An explanation of the "flexing" (2pages) : https://docs.google.com/document/d/1...f=true&sd=true

The original message I debated writing that looped back into the thread that was simplified that was to accompany the dungeon run (1page) : https://docs.google.com/document/d/1...f=true&sd=true

Tank Role Importance Discussion getting into mentor philosophy, a tad bit of job kit analysis, along with raid leadership traits and patterns that become problematic for tanks because of community interactions inside of dungeons such as YPYT controversy (3pages) : https://docs.google.com/document/d/1...f=true&sd=true

4) 100% contributory. Because Option 1) I ignore this person and they continue to spam insults toward other tanks in the thread and spread misinformation. or 2) I find a crack in their personality and they become so unhinged and toxic that they become ignored. If I become ignored as well *shrugs* I got other things I do lol Worst case scenario, I wait until a new person comes into the discussion and people can see my personality and thoughts when I'm not provoked into being toxic and shifting how I word things on purpose. Some people will see the underlying performance immediately and know the bits of the truth I actually care about, and be able to separate it from the inflamatory bits added in.
