Very well said Momo, I wish there was a way to sticky your post in the thread so people can see it on every page. Even before you posted I went back a few pages and found a low rated post of yours and it was just very sad to see, me I am used to this nonsense but seeing a harmless post of yours being down repped really bothered me. It seems like you got caught in the crossfire of mass down repping by the trolls.I did my part to undo the damage and hopefully a few others will do the same. Even if you hadn't given away over 500 games (still pretty astonishing and amazingly generous BTW) it wouldn't have made any difference because you are one of the genuinely nicest people I have had the pleasure to know here on GOG.
The age old advise of "If you don't have anything nice to say then don't say anything at all" that you reiterated, we all could benefit from especially on the internet. But unfortunately the anonymity gives some people an excuse to be hateful and complete tools without any real consequences. Anyone can be confrontational on the internet because they can hide behind an avatar and yet here we see a new level of cowardice where while being totally anonymous they can still pass judgement on others by clicking a red button. Instead of being directly confronted, my name has been referenced and brought up a few times by some as an example of people responsible for ruining this community. I won't name any names because I said earlier that I won't bring it up again but just wanted to illustrate a point with an example.
It seems like this post has devolved into another rant when all I wanted to say is that most people being nice and generous to each other in this community is what really attracted me to be active here in the first place, and I really feel that goglodytes are more then just random strangers. So please don't let this ever get to you and keep being your wonderful self because if you ever decide to leave here than it would make a lot of people including myself really sad. We would all dearly miss you Momo, so please continue gracing us with your joyful and kindred spirit on this forum. :)
