I don't know why I even bother, but this:

Every time this happens, it's because someone does this kind of crap to me, no one else calls it out, you guys like and upvote their post, clearly supporting it. Then it escalates. Then you use it to further attack me and contribute to the "reputation" you collectively insist I have.

When what SHOULD happen is you guys see it and say "Hey yeah, that's not fair to Ren. You should stop it." Because LITERALLY every time someone actually does that, it DOES stop. That's all it takes. But it almost never happens. And clearly, I can't do it. Because the person attacking me isn't going to listen to me, the person they're in the process of attacking. It HAS to be one of you. But the bystander effect is real, isn't it?

Even better, if people would resist that initial urge to attack or dig at me in the first place when it's uncalled for - which, believe it or not, it often (even almost always) IS uncalled for.

It's just so exhausting...

But the solution would be so insanely simple, if you guys actually cared. But you collectively seem not to.
If you guys ever get this, then there will be peace in the land.

Anyway, moving on...
