What is up with this toxic community

I agree that it may not have been presented in the best or clearest manner. I simply wanted to try to distill the positive and actionable truths presented by what were being presented as oppositional arguments to show that they were not infact in opposition to each other and could work quite well together.

Essentially, I wanted to try to get people to stop pointing fingers at each other long enough that the common ground they are standing on could be pointed to instead.

However, I'll admit I may of course be completely mistaken in my interpretation of what was meant, but then I will leave that up to the person whose ideas I was referring to to correct me if that is the case.

I also understand your concern over people trying to place blame due to oversimplified concepts of "responsibility" and "accountability". I personally think such things are unproductive and can lead to less than desirable results.

I am of the opinion that all facets of a party's performance are the responsibility of the party as a whole. What a tank does such as positioning affects DPS output of the party, what a DPS does affects the way a healer has to heal which in turn can affect how a tank tanks and the DPS output of the party. All these parts are interlinked, so declaring that anything is the sole responsibility of any one person is not the way to go. People need to try to be flexible and work together to adjust as a party to the situation and circumstances that they are presented with.
