Counterpoint to all the Debbie Downers lately...

If you really think a positive thread would not be descended upon by the people unhappy with the state of the game to let everyone know they actually aren't happy with the game, you haven't been paying attention. Another poster posted only her positive thoughts a couple days ago and was immediately criticized for posting by several people - some of the attacks even on her character and motives for posting.

You haven't been here long, but you seem to focus mostly on the positive crowd in your attacks and skim by far worse offenses. It's a trend I already noticed with your posts.

You mind pointing out which thread in particular you're speaking of? Because I can think of two off the top of my head, and one was reactionary in nature designed for the explicit purpose of being contrary and the other's second half made denigrative sweeping generalizations about large swathes of posters. So I'm not particularly inclined to show clemency towards those not acting in good faith. I know for a fact that I've addressed the more obvious trolls directly, when they're being unnecessarily antagonistic.

As for my "attacks" (for the record, calling them such already harms your credibility from the onset) if pointing out people being overly hostile and advising more courteous conduct is attacking someone then I can't really come to an agreement with you. Additionally, I can only call out what I personally see when I'm actually present on the forums and I'm certainly not going to go trawling through past threads. If this amounts to taking sides to you, then we may as well end our relations here since we probably will not get along very well you and I.

Quite frankly, I'm sorry but nowhere is it a viable policy that positivity ought to be an unassailable bastion that none may dare tarnish. At the end, the purpose or motive of any given thread is less relevant than most would think. So long as it isn't outright discourteous, it should be deemed acceptable and so too are any posts that follow it so long as they follow a baseline of conduct. There simply is no moral position that is superior enough to shield one from the proffering of opposing viewpoints. If you really think I've not been paying my dues equally than I can only vow to be better, though from the way you conduct yourself I have a sneaking suspicion little I could do would you find satisfactory.
