I'm going to have to agree. He has not come off as a victim at all in this. Instead, the OP is simply throwing his story out there and seeing if he's the only one feeling this.
As someone who does go out of their way to talk to people in the Quicksand, I can 100% tell you that his experiences are not limited to him. I don't think that this thread was unreasonable, and I think that people who are pushing his post off as something that he just isn't doing correctly or whatnot are ignoring the problem.
There ARE people who RP who deliberately ignore other RPers. Is it everyone, no. But is it a noticeable portion, sure. Â I could tell you exactly who I got the cold shoulder from, on more than one occasion, but that doesn't help the situation either. I think threads like this are simply a call to action. We should be looking at this and thinking, "Damn, what can I do to help make sure this doesn't happen anymore," not looking at the OP and saying, "You're doing it wrong."
That's exactly why people leave communities.
