I understand your point Reddy but I have one of my own, and this has been said many times before. What truly doesn't help is when five people start yelling back at one individual for any comments they may have made, others have refered to it as "ganging up." When one user is being attacked by five others it does nothing other than making a user think their back is against the wall and that their all alone. It does more to make a user feel unwelcome than completely ignoring them. Multiple times I've seen this happen to other users, some notable examples are Dra, Fire, and MrE. Now Dra and Fire have left because they felt so unwelcome due to the constant backlash they got from some insignificant comment that they happened to type up when they had their tempers slip a bit. I'm not saying that the comments were justified in any way but the amount of backlash they recieved has been overkill at times. I'd just prefer it if we could have one person try to talk the issue out with someone, something I've done many times since I got here, rather than the whole chat attack them and make them feel like they're unwelcome. We're all guilty of ganging up on someone at one point or another, myself included, but we have to realize the backlash does more harm than anything else.
