The key difference is the way I handle things. The earlier post I made, I made out frustration (toward GenJoe) has now been deleted. Was I wrong to post that even though I know for a fact that was what he was after? Of course. I'm not some savior come to show you all the error of your ways, I'm trying to reason with the people who think kicking and screaming would have been the "wiser" course because the dps started it first. Why is it so hard to talk? OP stated that s/he did try to negotiate after the initial pull and that IS commendable. I just think that if s/he had done so before hand things may not have turned out the way they did. But on the other hand they could have anyway and that is a risk you take when dealing with people you don't know.

I DON'T CARE about WHO did it or WHY, only WHAT can be done by us, the game's community, to quell this sort of thing in the future. As far as "attempting" to be "neutral", as far as you need be concerned, I am Switzerland. Toxicity is something that is just... I'm skipping this because it serves no purpose. You seem to have politeness confused with kowtowing and are very much mistaken. Courtesy will get you a lot farther than anger. Look at the dps to see I am right. His/her anger made him/her not see reason and therefore wound up not getting what s/he was after to begin with only to have to queue again. That in turn left the OP and friend to pick up the pieces, most likely in a very unhappy mood. So NOW do you see it? BOTH of them suffered because of a minor hiccup that could have been talked through at the start.

But I use logic where it isn't wanted. I am certain that I'll be ignored because I didn't "choose" a side, but you all will have to get over it or die from it. I don't pick sides in pointlessness because of exactly that, it's pointless. Life will go on, tanks/dps will continue to hate each other for reasons that a two year old would be dumbstruck by. In the end if you don't like interactions, MMOs are not for you. If you don't like randoms, DF is not for you. If you don't like people, Life is not for you.
