Most people don't seem to realize this, but in text medium like this, just because one is using curse words to emphasize, doesn't actually mean they're "yelling", insulting someone, or otherwise in an aggressive state. In the case of someone calling you names, it's moreso calling out to your ideas/what you said, not yourself personally. Making multiple "calm down" assumptions to how someone is acting, is a misunderstanding in perspective, that oftentimes is found insulting for being presumptuous. Also add that, ye had misused terms confusing the conversation, these insults can also very well be out of frustration for you making a mess of things by not researching the correct term beforehand (or, don't use the term at all, if unsure what it means).spaceLem wrote:And shrieking, hurling insults, and behaviour unbecoming of a 9 year old isn't being an asshole? Dude, calm down before you give yourself a hernia, this is just a discussion about how to roll some dice, not a holy war.
That said, I'm pretty sure this is the notion of the den, as they have laxer rules on what you can say here, people are free to voice their thoughts. Even if it is quite aggressive, as least it is being honest, and not hiding behind passive-aggression, apologist and other BS on wordplay that harms discussion (as you'll see in most other RPG forums). So, I wouldn't take it personally, and continuing to do so, is a misunderstanding of this forum's culture, as well possibly a conflict in mindset that may harm future discussion.
