Anyone who would flame anyone else like this is a fucktard and should be eliminated.

I know I'm running a risk by presenting an opposing opinion, but that's being as bad as what you're criticizing him for, isn't it? Surely you can respond to such a PM by rising above the level of (im)maturity and hatred that you're claiming this PM expresses by responding with calmness, placidity, and ignorance (as in ignoring it) instead?

This was a mistake because I was feeding the troll. My mistake

Not at all, I'm telling you to stay away from the drama if you don't like it. So don't post in threads like this and stick to the ones about programming if that is all you are here for.

So don't post in threads like this and stick to the ones about programming if that is all you are here for.(This will be my last post in this thread, I promise.)I would really just prefer if we didn't have these sorts of threads to begin with. All they do is spread negative vibes throughout the community and make everybody angry. They also do not belong in a community "free of hostility", because they are being hostile to those who are hostile to us! In the words of Mahatma Ghandi, "An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind." We are blinding ourselves by doing this.The best way of stopping this sort of thing is to ignore it.

This was a mistake because I was feeding the troll. My mistake Ummm...this is exactly what I was trying to say in the topic I posted earlier, but then it got locked (and subsequently moved to spam so guests cannot see it) Looking back, posting it when I did was not the best idea, but why lock it? It gives the impression that the message I had was not wanted, that we should do the opposite of not responding to trolls. I'm sorry if I hurt anyone; I will never know what it feels like for someone else when they are insulted, or their ways of dealing with it, so I was being insensitive in thinking that it would be easy for everyone to ignore trolls, but I feel saying what I said was necessary after seeing Metagross111's PM, and Eeems' retaliation, because I thought the situation would deteriorate into more of the same.
