You know, normally I'm a pretty easy-going guy. I laugh a lot, I have good friends, and I don't take life too seriously. Last week there was a thread going on fast food, a public thread on a public board, which was generally light-hearted and speaking about people's preferences. I weighed in with some non-light-hearted comments, but in no way was I disrespectful, nor disruptive, nor rude. I shared some unpopular facts about fast food, stuff that I had read and that I wanted to share with other ENWorlders. Since the thread was about fast food, I posted in that thread; after all, it was that thread that got me thinking about it in the first place.
I got attacked. Not just attacked--I got mauled. By ENWorlders. People who are supposed to be--generally--friendly. Sure, my posts weren't light-hearted, but they certainly weren't mean-spirited. Yet that's how they were taken, and that's how I was treated--as a mean-spirited jerk who was pissing on everyone's fun.
I'm not a mean-spirited jerk. I'm not any of the things I was called in that thread, and I think that the way I was treated was harsh, undeserved, and way out of line. Normally I let stuff like this slide, but this one really sticks in my gullet. I think that I deserve an apology, especially from reveal, who went above and beyond in his efforts to curb-stomp me with words.
