Would someone make a mod that changes zombie noises from being high-pitched and screechy to low and lazy groans? 

There's a big difference between a chill community and a "Kumbaya Narnia." Yeah, you're going to have a bit of crappiness online no matter what, but the thing is that the crappiness is not a broad trend in a chill community.

In my experience, this isn't true for every community. There are cool, chill places to hang out online -- even places with thousands of active users. They aren't common, but they certainly exist. The emoji itself is neutral. The use of it, when you went back to every post I made and reacted to...

So, a rose is a rose by any other name. Even if it isn't what you would specifically call "toxic" -- that's probably a difference between our idiolects, and there's no issue with that -- there's still something misguided and antagonistic behind it. You can call it whatever you like, but my point...

1. Excellent gatekeeping. I'm not making you do anything. Even if I were to set a "better example," it's clear I'm an outsider either way. 2. The "cool people (like myself)" bit was a joke. You are only proving my point when it comes to the toxicity angle.

"Setting a better example" isn't the only thing that can or should better affect a community. Even if there are 100 cool people, you have to deal with the 1000 uncool people. And uncool people drive cool people (like myself) away, leading to a greater disproportion of uncool people. You have to...

Do you think that I don't want you to have an opinion? All I'm advocating for is people in this community -- specifically, this forum -- to take a less combative approach to discussion.

Shown: someone not acting toxic at all. There's a clear line between reasonable and unreasonable criticism, and comments like "you need to optimize A19 before A20" are just silly. There's a general thread of antagonism throughout this whole community and it is lame and alienating.

From this thread, wow this community is acting toxic. I think the game is great and I'm excited for A20 and all future Alphas. Especially for bandits.
