Well ain’t this the can of worms.
I wasn’t around much for the drama so wouldn’t have the same strength of feeling as you all on this topic so maybe my views are worth taking with a pinch of salt, but it’s clear that there’s a lot of toxicity flying around and it doesn’t do anyone any good.
Reading the “twitlonger”, it’s clear we have someone who whilst outwardly saying they were wrong and that they’ll try do better, doesn’t really believe it. Over time, said individual has managed to convince themselves of such righteousness on the topic of Jessie that no other alternative can pass without a suggestion (or harassment, if you like) of an alternative view. It’s got to a point where even SE, i.e. the creators of the story, cannot post anything without some kind of feedback.
For what it’s worth, I favour the block and ignore strategy. I wouldn’t be convinced that a “pile-on” is the best way, because whatever the guy may have said and done over the years it’s very clear that he needs help. I do understand the anger and frustration over his behaviour which is way, way over the line, but he does just need help. Maybe I’m missing something, and I’m quite sure he would’ve been offered help and refused it, but I don’t know if hounding the guy out is the right way.
And there’s me thinking I loved this game as much as the next guy…!!!
