You're implying I shouldn't give OP the benefit of the doubt because they're new to the forums or never came back? Someone always has to be new and I wouldn't blame someone for not coming back.
It could've simply been that they had gotten their issue off their chest because a specific incident or person triggered this feeling, as well.

Again, people were too busy trying to shut OP down or simply tell them they're wrong entirely before even asking them why they even felt that way to begin with.
What are you even talking about? The replies are exactly what the OP is asking for and now you think they'd be afraid or don't want to engage?

Again, the accusation of passive aggressiveness. Maybe I've missed them, but the responses that I've seen are ordinary responses that the OP can engage with. In fact, others are doing it for the OP.

If the OP is asking to be allowed to have "fights and arguments," then they've got them, at least the latter anyway. If they are "absolutely disgusted" when people suddenly refuse to speak, then they shouldn't be silent in their own thread. No one can shut the OP down, only the OP and the GMs.
