    ...You know what, I'm not even surprised you've turned the narrative on this one, but let's be clear: his post was the #gcbtw example.

    I don't doubt that they gave harsh words, too; however tactless and seemingly ill-thought an angry post will be it usually has some trigger for that ugliness. But, there's a reason that "cute" post of his -- complete with its sexist slurs, intimidation, and diatribe -- stood out in memory far more than theirs, which were almost entirely civil by comparison even when accounting for implications.

    and glad some people still remember it. We should all learn from it. I just find it funny the biggest troll in this thread, dug it up.
    If he was able to post that and come out unscathed, then the only lesson to learn from the event would be a somewhat dystopian one. Nor does giving information that might provide an answer to the itching question of "Is this guy at all arguing in good faith, or have our past 30 pages been wasted?" make one a troll.

    But, regardless, please do enjoy your experience. I'm sure you're a nice enough individual most of the time, which is about all that can be said of anyone.

    If I've come off as being offended by you personally, I apologize; I merely dislike unfairness, and the rules of play you've described -- by which your individual "rights" trump those of your group despite their both equally being individuals and more numerous -- have struck me as painfully unfair. I would hate to see the game ever aim to cater to that sort of unfairness, just as I'd dislike for it to reduce the span of players capable of enjoying the game, at least from among those who historically have enjoyed it.
