I’ve been watching this conversation as well for a bit but I think I should intervene since it’s gotten.. a bit too far.

Colbi’s actions and words were inappropriate and should not be tolerated but please don’t let yourselves turn into beasts and savagery for one person. As he has said before, he’s a ‘troll’. In this point and time, Colbi isn’t even trying to get into GGaD, they’re attempting to get a reaction out of the Forums. And they are.

Which means you’re letting him win. You’ve been letting him win for weeks.

Hurricane, Bengal, and everyone else in general, I know he’s upsetting all of you and I understand that it’s distressing to see him act like this but please- you don’t have to reply to him. I know it infuriates you. What he said was very offensive and it hurt people.

It’s easier to let it go and stop arguing. One of the main reasons Colbi has stuck for so long is because you’ve been feeding him what he desired. I know you guys have probably heard this piece of advice, perhaps worded differently, and maybe I’m saying this for no reason. But that advice was passed around because it worked.

Trolls strive for attention and negative responses. They enjoy and derive pleasure from provoking people. They do this for a multitude of reasons but perhaps the most common is simply because on the internet, they have a protective ‘shield’ of anonymity that allows them to act however without too big of a consequence.

So everyone here, arguing, try to take a few deep breaths and ignore. For your own sakes and everyone else on the forums.
