I don't agree with everything RiceisNice has posted but mostly they are just elaborating on one of the possible scenarios based on what OP has told us. So they aren't really jumping to conclusions or condoning abuse on other players. They actually said they aren't condoning harassment or bad behavior.
Jerichai all your posts have been pretty good for promoting decency towards other players, but I think you might be misunderstanding Rice.
Some of the things Rice posted was a bit too much assumption but most of it was just pointing out the other side of the story...like from what OP posted it can branch two ways to what happened. Since we have insufficient info to know what really happened.
Scenario 1. The other member in the group outright raged at OP about ballad without asking why or being respectful about it.
This would mean that pretty much the other member is imo in the wrong no matter how OP acted afterwards, they lit the fire with gasoline instead of just starting with a small ember of decently worded questions or suggestions. OP could either get mad back or just say they were trying to help, but either way that kind of treatment was uncalled for since you shouldn't assume someone is deliberately not trying to help the group. They may think they are helping they just don't know something you might know.
Scenario 2. The other member did ask why OP was ballading either nicely or in an indifferent way and OP immediately overreacted and got defensive.
This would be the problem that Rice brought up that might have happened. If this happened OP was imo in the wrong because they overreacted to someone's light critique of their playstyle. So in this case OP lit the fire with gasoline and probably shouldn't have overreacted. You can't just assume someone is asking you a question about what you are doing to make fun of you. They might just been genuinely curious and/or want to help you.
I posted my opinion based on scenario 1. Rice posted their opinion based on scenario 2. Neither of us is correct or incorrect about the OP, we just discussing how people may perceive these scenarios.
I tried to let people know not to immediately rage at players because they aren't doing what you think is best. They may not know what you'd like them to help the group with.
Rice tried to impart the other side of the coin. That if someone asks or even lightly critiques or tries to suggest another way of playing that you shouldn't overreact or get defensive. They may just be trying to help you.
