What *I* hate is the fact that I actually agree with so many of the biggest offenders. So many people out there post messages expressing views with which I wholehearted agree, and they back up their arguments with good, solid facts and research that show that they know just what they're talking about...
...but they ruin their arguments with lines like "you obviously don't know what you're talking about. Learn about the subject before you post." Or far worse lines that I don't dare put into writing.
It's infuriating. I want to write in with my support of those people's views, but I don't want to be associated with a troll! I can't even enter a debate once I read a post like that in it.
Oh, totally. I'm always thinking, 'Get the hell off of my side!'
It's like having Sebastian agree with you or something. You need to take a shower afterwards. :)
I should also add that the amount of flaming and trolling (what's the difference between the two, anyway?) on paizo.com is nothing compared to that on some other websites. In fact, the Paizo online community is wonderful. If not for these messageboards, I never would have started getting Golarion books, Pathfinder RPG, Planet Stories, GameMastery maps, etc. Paizo fans are awesome.
But once in a while, we need a little reminder, such as this thread.
