And when I read through the gamethreads, I see a whole bunch of posters being negative, not just Fred/Pumpsie. There was no reason to single him out IMO.
There's a big difference between writing a post that is just like "big win, guess all the negativity wasn't necessary over the past few days" and "(poster's name) is bad." It's easy to address opinions you don't like without having to make the environment here more toxic. To me, it just seems like there's been an uptick of pile ons recently. Gamethreads should be fun, not whatever they are now. Let people boo. Let people cheer. It's part of being a fan. It's all good.
