This is why I have a difficult time understanding why people actively troll other people online, especially when they can do it with maximum anonymity to those they troll. This is ultimately my greatest problem with the reality that this is a Wikia forum - it's a forced part of the system. Most Internet fora do not allow anonymous posting in their forums because of the problems we have here with it - that those who troll (except Ran LOL) will do so anonymously AND may be regular members of the forums!

Honestly, if someone randomly posts an opinion I disagree with, I tend to either leave it alone or restrict my comments to evidence and observations and leave it open. I've had enough bad experiences doing so online to not want repeat performances. It's amusing for a brief period of time, yes... but when someone tells you that you should kill yourself as part of a flame war - and that was here, an anonymous poster (surprise!) - yeah, it kind of stops being funny anymore. I hope you are not implying *I* am a troll. I too restrict my responses to evidence and observation and reason, and I challenge you to prove otherwise or please retract your statement.
