I never said it was your fault that I was having a bad night, nor am I making it yours. It’s your choice to take it as if I’m trying to make your night just as bad as mine because I was having a bad night.
Quit making assumptions. I’m not using it as guilt, nor do I see a point in using it to guilt people. What would I be guilting them into doing or feeling? It’s like you’re discouraging me for being honest. And I realize it doesn’t entitle me to have the ability to post whatever I want, nor did I say that. Again, I do not have the best self control in the world.
Let me put it this way. When you’re not in a proper state of mind, it’s basically the equivalent to not being sober. Whatever emotion you’re feeling, it will cloud anything reasonable you have to say with that certain emotion you’re feeling.
I’m going about my night, then suddenly I’m feeling super irrationally pissed off. I continue about my night, friend tells me “hey, condo 1 remake” and I’m all like, oh sweet beans my dude. I check it out, and my anger basically is like, “hey, you should overreact to this small thing” and so I whip up a forum post. I intended it to be more of a “please don’t make it like this” rather than a “everything here is wrong, redo it” post. So here I go, making a post that contains an opinion mixed in with some hostility, which if I wasn’t feeling angry, it would not have been that way. People give their responses how they agree or disagree with what I’m saying. But then one guy comes around and deconstructs what I said, so I respond. Then you come around, giving your opinion how I put the post in a “disrespectful and insulting manner” when I had already stated that I was having a bad night at the time, and that I probably shouldn’t have made this post when I was in that state of mind. I make my response, and you keep on pushing forward with assumptions and blatantly obvious things. It’s clear to me that you’re just trying to frustrate me, to create a bigger coffufle than there needs to be.
sort of unrelated rant time
It’s an endless cycle here on the forums. A user says one thing, other people give their opinions, then there’s always that one user that has to say something that stands out from the rest and says, “you’re being this” which starts a reply loop from the first user and the user who calls out said user about something blatantly obvious. Then the first user gets fed up with whatever the other user is trying to pull and writes a long and lengthy post like this explaining what’s actually going on. Then the thread is locked, the first user is banned for instigating drama and the other user is banned for spam/trolling or they’re just not punished at all. You simply cannot avoid drama from opinions. You may as well ban opinions from the forums. Mac (or some other dev) will come into here and say, "hey you’re both being ridiculous we’re locking this thread now stop here are your punishments. But in reality, everyone is different. Everyone has their own opinions and views, opinions and views trigger responses from people, some bad or good. This is the internet, the internet is a giant orgy of personalities that clash and mix in the worst ways possible. You can’t avoid this. It’s the same on any other forum, there will always be hostility between the users and the moderators (or in this case the devs) will always try to stop it by making their forum a hugbox (a place in which the problem is not resolved, but is stifled). You cannot make an environment a happy utopia with so many personalities, it’s just not possible. So that just results to the higher ups trying to stifle the negativity to the best of their ability.
To conclude, there will always be negativity and the devs need to stop acting like they can control it. This will never be some sort of happy safespace, just like any other place on the internet, I promise you.
