The Official Forums is an EXTREMELY poor example of a "Good Community"

And?

I'm not about to change my entire personality to appeal to folks on these forums.

Like you said, they're a very small fraction. And seeing as my social life in-game is absolutely thriving I'm doing just fine.

Nobody is asking you to, but you can't go around doing something that could stir up negativity and then turn around and wonder why all you see is negativity.

I'm absolutely certain that if I looked at a lot of these threads where I'm not present there's still gonna be a fair amount of negativity there regardless.

But I do appreciate that you think I'm that powerful, ngl.

Naturally if you seek it you're going to find it as well.

Uh.

Okay, I guess?

It means if you find yourself in a negative situation it changes how you view things. You're going to see negativity everywhere. Just like if you have a positive experience you're more likely to over look any negatives. As for the other: if you actively seek examples of negativity you're obviously going to find it.

I make characters that look like me.

Are you really a little person?

Hehe.

I am pretty short, I'll admit.

Compared to the WoW forums, this is absolute bliss.

Around Shadowbringers's release, I stopped posting on the OF as regularly because of problems laid out in the OP and because SE just doesn't interact here. If I want fun stuff, I view Reddit- and I do so frequently.

I have never read a bad post by Renalt in the time I do occasionally return here. This place needs more people like that. I understand people want to have their problems heard by our mute moderators, but arguments here happen so often it's exhausting.

People are people. Good or bad, they're still people. The problem was people thinking their game somehow changed people's natures. Anyone, I don't care who they are can be pushed to be as toxic as they need to be to offend you.
