I don't see it, either. Not on my tumblr anyway. I've only ever gotten two 'hate' anon messages, though I do have anon messages turned off. Even if someone wanted to send me a positive anon, I'd rather know who you are so I can hug you. Then again, I'm usually not the type to pay attention to drama or rise up to give it attention. Someone tries to start drama, I commence jazz hands and walk away. I don't really care what some internet person says about me. I've seen my fair share of RP/game drama way back when, and I've learned to just not care. In fact, I've been rubbing my chin thinking on whether or not to respond to this thread with my own experiences/advice.Â
Drama tends to follow around those who facilitate it, and feeding it by trying to 'get back' at the people who start it with them. The people who start drama tend to have major problems in their own lives, and will move from game to game, making 'friends' and then eventually pushing them and others away with it. They bemoan their fate and continue to move onto another game, repeating the process. Over the past ten years, I've seen this exact same thing happen numerous times. These people do not have to be a permanent fixture in your gaming life, because it's very likely they're not going to be a permanent fixture in the game you play.
That being said- You control whether or not you're going to be hurt, angry or sad by what someone says. Words only have as much meaning to them as you give them. Don't let them control your feelings; don't let them ruin your life. It only took me about half my life to learn this through many RL trials and errors. If the person is important to you, or a friend, then you can try to work things out. The worst thing you could do to a person who is trying to call you a name/bully you is to smile and continue on with your life.
