Nope but it is the inevitable outcome as we see here.

That doesn't justify anything except replies like this one [1]. This entire discussion is now hidden, as it should be.

Actually thinking back on it and going over your responses I'll admit I'm wrong. You appear to have many many more years dedicated to online forums than me and very most likely understand how to sustain a community better. With mentioning several communities I've never heard of.

I'll still stand my ground that the first reply that I replied to was a shit comment only wanting to deflect conversation. If it followed what you said here then the appropriate response is to ignore it and report.
