Tone through text is a huge thing, since at times it is very much hit or miss. But yeah, some people I notice are just pretty blatant in their passive aggression or can't admit they come that way to other people even when approached about it.
From the time I created DOVE to the time I retired, I can honestly say 3/4 of the guild population at any given time avoided the RPC in large part for this very reason. Either they had seen it themselves by lurking as a 'guest' or heard about it enough times to stay away. I'll admit there are times I just don't post for a while and look instead for the sake of not running into those kind of situations.
Opinions are lovely. We all have them. This is a forum, after all, but all too often I notice people abuse the fact this is the internet and that behind the screens we're all people too.
