InkPanther: Whether it was intentional or not, you guys took the bait and went exactly where OP post suggested not to go. Good job. ;)
Sad right?
This is why I find it difficult to care too much and become more cynical.
You have an apparently clueless well intentioned guy / gal that seems to lack social skills to the point of not understanding that things are now at the point other people dislike him for constantly talking about X. It no longer matters if he does it politely or not, on topic or not - he is being reacted to due to personal dislike, and yet continues to act as if in denial of that. Of course maybe it's a martyr complex of sorts... and maybe he has planned this to prove a point at a meta level. But I don't think it should matter really...
And you have an almost mob (as in unorganized group of individuals) which without actually coordinating overtly are practically bullying this guy / gal because they want them to basically shut up already. This mob believes they are doing the right thing - there are unwritten rules you see: Thou shall not post repeatedly (unless it's anti Steam or Anti DRM), or Thou shall not derail (unless it's via jokes and non sequiturs) - and it does not even cross their minds they might be in a position of power, and practically (if not intentionally) abusing that power.
How about some tolerance folks? Are greene's posts that threatening? Why do you care so much about not letting them have their say, and making sure you make them feel they should leave? If you believe they're trolling, you're only feeding them. If you can't make love instead of war, at least stop being nasty. Is it really that difficult? The other guy is right - you are acting like SJWs. There is a better way.
Zeo, how would you feel if every of your puzzles or riddles got downvoted because the community disapproves of puzzles?
Tiny, how would you feel if every time you derail with a joke you got downvoted because the community disapproves of jokes?
Breja, how would you feel if every time you ask for narrative in games, or say you like stories, the community downvoted you because of being more ludo / mechanics oriented?
Think you might feel unwelcome? That the community disapproves of you?
So why the fuck do you guys do this to others? Even if you are not actually downvoting, don't you realize you are leading the mob by example? And that's only those of you that I know enough to point out the obvious... anyway... carry on I guess. I'd really like to understand why you are acting like this, but I can live in cynic sarcasm world instead:
Make the community into what you want it to be through the shining example of these beautiful actions.
I am sure you will just love it when you actually get your heart's desire and everything around is just the way you like.
