It's really obvious because only inflammatory posts rise to the top while feedback gets buried.

Someone who approaches you and tells you 'it's the same character' is right and wrong, it's a pointless statement that provides nothing but a bait for an argument. This person isn't interested in hearing you out, they already made their mind up. Then you have dismissive statements that strive to invalidate and minimize without actually trying to create a healthy respectful discussion.
I admit I sort of fell for this myself earlier. I wanted to know if others saw the same differences I did, not necessarily whether they thought the differences were /acceptable/. Nevertheless, I think it was partly my poor wording and I didn't particularly mind the feedback I got as I know for myself what I see and want, but I did realise that it was derailing the topic at hand. When I see this back and forth between players now, I worry that the actual feedback will be obscured and unnoticed. I can only hope the JP thread will be more succesful at this point, but I'll keep looking.
