Are Most Forum Users Just Trolls?

Nah, you were literally talking down to me and denying everything I said because I did not provide statistics and proof.

I was asking questions of your thought process behind your post and stated beliefs.

There’s no way to provide statistics for something that you can’t get statistics for. I merely asked what percentage of players “you think” actually go around wrecking games for fun. It would’ve been a subjective answer for the sake of honest dialogue.

Here’s the exact quote.

@Koboldoggo-1596

Sorry but I can’t really forgive people that come online to be awful to others because it gives them entertainment.

How many players do you think actually do this? Give me a percentage, because it kinda sounds like you think this is a majority demographic.

@Koboldoggo-1596

You then played mind games by telling me to quote the exact part of your post I was referencing like you can’t tell.

Because you responded to something in a way that didn’t make sense to my reply my guy. You replied to a response that contextually didn’t make sense.

I wanted clarification, I actually couldn’t tell.

@Koboldoggo-1596

Then you went on to troll and say my post was satire.

I suggested it was.

You suggested the game was more toxic, and then went on to be toxic.

That sounds pretty ironic to me, maybe intentionally ironic, possibly even satirical.

I wasn’t trolling at all, I was making an observation.

@Koboldoggo-1596

So you’re literally who I was speaking of in that post, and this one: a troll.

Buddy I’ve kept things very polite, the conversation didn’t derail until you started assuming the worst of me rather than just taking my words as they were intended to be taken: at face value.

@Koboldoggo-1596

Trying to hide it by speaking “intelligently”, but you’re just a troll.

No, I’m someone who wants a conversation.

I can be abrasive at times, but I’m not here to derail or enrage or harass.

@Koboldoggo-1596

You also insinuated I am at fault for the increased toxicity in the community by making posts calling out toxicity.

I didn’t fault anyone, I suggested those who look for toxicity tend to find it and are often most vocal about it:

@Trando-11488

Those that want to make an example of the toxicity tend to turn off all safety precautions (or outright refusing to mitigate potential toxic behavior) subjecting themselves to toxicity they wouldn’t otherwise be exposed to in an effort to gain a reason to make posts talking about “how toxic the game is” adding their own toxicity to the “toxicity” that they claim exists in spades creating actual toxicity in the process while trying to draw attention to a problem that’s quite easy to circumvent. It’s truly an avoidable problem.

I don’t want anyone to face toxicity in game, and aim to suggest they take all precautions against it if it bothers them that much.

@Koboldoggo-1596

Literally blaming me for others being toxic, like I made them that way.

Never blamed you, if I did, you should be able to pull a quote.

I suggested you might have a blind spot for my quote above, everyone has and affinity for blind spots in some way.

@Koboldoggo-1596

Also nice job following me from post to post just to do it more.

Clicked on the post, forgot we interacted until well into my initial second quote honestly.

But while we’re here, can we drop the hostilities? The point of the second reply was to show that if you’re suggesting that “trolls are insulting you” is the reason you’re abandoning threads that maybe you shouldn’t have examples floating around of insults levied against someone who was nothing but amicable in their approach to a conversation.

@Koboldoggo-1596

Trando you can save your fingers, I’m not going to read your posts anymore as I know exactly what will be in them.

It’s always a good feeling when someone takes my advice.
