Exactly. The only big on the author is his ego. He wants the feedback but when people are honest with the feedback, he goes ape sheet. Seems he needs a therapist or maybe some medication for the possible bi polar.

Hohns, you’re at it again bro…
Look, rather than legitimize topics like this one (which is actually an ego trip by the author)… always steel-man. Mythrael was obviously not trying to be toxic there, so… deserves at least that.
The “US” comment was crude speculation about online culture. The “winning” comment was fairly benign (competitive people tend to be more toxic, especially online). Both of them could be steel-manned.
What you did instead was ascribe toxicity where there was none (at worst, there was misperception)… and in the process did nothing to disprove those two stereotypes (if you happen to be American & competitive). 
Did you notice that? A rational bystander might think you set out to prove the stereotypes.
I find your brand of trolling somewhat amusing… kinda like an Oscar the Grouch. But now you’re engaging with the thread author, and… trust me… that’s a different species.
How original your joke. ‘Insert SARCASM’ See, how its spelled?
5 minutes, no reply, hmmm…

It’s interesting how we all have differing views.
Ones man’s toxic is another’s normal….
The US comment is stereo typing, by country region. Offensive ? I don’t know. I don’t get offended by much these days. Annoying yes when some jack wagon wants to be forum moderator and gate keeper maybe. But I digress. You see I see that as contributing to the toxicity just as you see my form of sarcasm and posting as trolling. Which to some extent you’re right, it is. But aren’t we all at this point?
I wonder if this thread will get deleted like his other one? He wrote a novel on that post too.
Eh… I mean… the thread will get deleted either way, when the mods are awake. But sure, I guess there’s an aspect of that (the mania). I think if you read his topics, and then add his descriptions (in this thread) of his online experiences, and pay close attention to his descriptions of people in general - the offhand descriptions in the OP, not the ones about the forum members - it’s more like a Sheldon situation, except not cute or comedic.

The “offensive ? I don’t know. I don’t get offended by much these days” part is… talk. 
You got offended by that. And it prevented you from being able to see the intent behind Mythrael’s post, which was a general observation not aimed at you and not intended to offend people. The kind of observation rational people can discuss & disagree on, and maybe change each other’s minds over - or not.
And yes, of course you troll, and you like it. But like I said, it’s a mostly benign flavor of trolling. You are in fact a grouch. I think you amped up the toxicity by latching onto a grain of sand & making a pearl out of it… BUT… you could prevent that IMO (if you wanted to) by prefacing your ‘grouchy’ posts with the words “Keep in mind, I may be a grouch…”
I mean this sincerely, it would be hilarious. And I’m not trolling you.
I think that fits a lot of us. At some point you just can’t be serious about forum posts.

Thank you dr. Philbilly.
Its one of the reasons I loathe texting…you dont get the tone. What you think you may be saying in good fun, may come across as bitter and angry. Unless you personally know them, its hard to tell these days.

Obvious trolls are obvious again.
There’s like rules here to talk about the game and stay on topic btw even if Blizz never enforces them.
Okay class, anyone notice how they all came out, one by one, almost as if they waited to work together? Timing could potentially be indicative of actively working together. Notice the similar trends and patterns in the specifics they used in their direct attacks? Notice the specific word choices regurgitating the same specifics others use similarly bc they think I am triggered by certain words, phrasing, or ideas pushed against me?
As a practitioner of deceit to the point where I make it an art form, pretending to over-react and let people think certain things trigger me when they don’t, tricks them into attempting the same tactics as others they see as successfully trolling. ie, the repeat the same patterns as others because they think they got a reaction out of me that warranted their dopamine triggers as bullies. Thereby also making their trolling more obvious to everyone.
Exactly! 20 characters.
Hence the steel-manning! The primate brain was not made for the Internet… we can’t handle it. It’s alien tech. We must adapt. Always steel-man… for your own sanity, as well as for general hygiene.
I’m finding lots of links to moonshine kegs & stills… which is hilarious.

I see soo many posts. All just talking garbage smack instead of talking about the game. I think it’s hilarious that the rules about trolling are so obvious… stay on topic about the game and do not attack other commenters or authors. Watch as they continue to blow up like madmen talking garbage about me when I go back to ignoring them more! Enjoy class!
For the trolls that I will now go back to continue to ignore… I promise you, if I was lying about being a Fed, it would be illegal. Please call the FBI to report me if you do not believe me as it is your duty as citizens. Unless you are scared little chickens!! Bwak, bwak, bwak!!! I double… no triple dog dare you! Call my bluff if you think I am wrong.
Anyone who sees this can go right ahead and check my credentials. I’m legit!
I see trolling people…
Relevant sample, on topic. (Which topic…?) Anyway, thread relevance is, stream of thought expression of motivations while posting online, “trolly angry energy” to “resonate” with “so many people” & “dramatic effect” to “create a fun read kind of tone”… it’s self-explanatory. Self-described as a shtick, but don’t pay attention to that. Stream of thought.
This was a season review supposedly. Anyway…
Looking at all the handy (sorry) smartphone-zombies roaming the surface of the earf civilization will go back to 100% primate. Brain & Posture wise.
Soon we will be 
again 
happily licking sticks and fishing for ants. (hopefully)
