I don't think that's fair to TTTT either, to be honest.
That post was in response to a back and forth which involved me trying to clear up the misconception that T02 appeared to hold, that being told they should cool off on the toxicity because it made D1 unfun to play, was untrue and entirely a scum tactic to advance a wincon at the expense of his own enjoyment.
I pointed out that wasn't true, and that is was obvious from posts in the dead thread that town (specifically TTTT) had also been affected by that behavior, but it was cool, I understand that's how he wants to play, and I don't feel any ill-will towards him personally and some people will be perfectly happy to play with him in that manner, but some, like myself, will chose not to in future.
His response to that was to accuse me of being a fucking lying snake about TTTT being affected, and TTTTs post, whilst worded quite aggressively, is confirming the fact that my read of the situation was correct; to which T02s reply was "You are saying that to spite me".
I'm ready to drop this. Without naming names, I'm sure all the SEs in this game can think of at least one other member of this community, perhaps more than one, for whom this sort of aggressive push-back is also part of their personality or play-style [and indeed that a) accusing others of not wanting to be subject to it to be evidence of bullying, abuse, or morally reprehensible on the part of those players and b)carrying it over to post-game and asking those players never to play with them again is also part of that package in those cases as well] and some players subsequently chose not to be involved in games they feature in, and some players are perfectly OK with it.
It's OK if your thoughts on the matter fall on that more forgiving and tolerant side, Itailano, but I don't think it is fair to criticize TTTT for falling down on the other side of that decision.
