The Culture of Toxicity

I'm somewhat disappointed to see you rehash what happened that night, but as I feel you've grossly misrepresented the situation, I feel I have no choice but to defend our team from your accusations of whining.

Here is the tagpro.eu for that game. JBaay's screenshot examined only the span of time between 7:47 and 7:57, at which point you only had three players. However, this screenshot omitted the period between 8:10 and 8:17 as well as 9:49 and 9:52, during which you joined despite four players already being in the game. Did you actually have time to spawn? No. But it's understandable that we started to freak out when your team had three blocking in base and another on the cusp of spawning.

But that's beside the point. You then went on to state that we "whined and flailed", which is such a baffling, baseless statement that there's not much I can do to directly address it. We specifically stated in the channel that you guys outplayed us regardless, and at no point did we ever complain, cry foul, or try to get the result changed. We may have been discontent, but only at a marginal level; we merely thought it was an unlucky hiccup, and nothing more.

After this, I considered the drama in this situation minimal; I thought everything had been more or less neatly settled. But then, I check /r/MLTP to see someone griping about the evil Rockies team that tried to undermine everything that TagPro stands for, and I'm confused. I don't see the need for dragging this wretched monster out of the grave, especially in this thread. I wanted to let it go, but when the whining never existed, it would not be honest to construct this narrative of a whining-to-drama ratio.

The only person I see here blowing things out of proportion is you.

(And yes, I realize this is only going to spiral into a much larger discussion which I'm not interested in continuing. So I'll part with an attempt to reconcile: Congrats on the win, and have a nice day!)
