How to you respond to someone who THINKS they're helping, but is really only being a prick?

Well it's not just for you, that's my stance with everyone right now. We want to create a safe and welcoming community, so this sense of "Oh not so-and-so again. WOULD YOU JUST LEAVE ALREADY? I HATE THE VERY SIGHT OF YOUR NAME IN MY PRESENCE" that I've seen building up on both sides of the drama and it just sort of drags down the mood of the place and causes a rift in the community as they take sides on what ever the matter happens to be THIS time.

I do agree with that. And I do agree that it isn't just about me; I'm just the current point of reference.

I personally just like to see people having decent conversation, analyzing and debating on fictional things, and while not everyone can agree on things, there's no need to get rude about it, we're just talking. And like I said, "safe" may be questionable, but I will defend this sub-reddit's to be called a welcoming environment.

Agreed.

People can be pleasant, people can be rude, people can be weird, or dull, or even a little crazy, but I'll be damned if I let anyone try to say "Get out" because they don't "like" something someone else is doing. If there's reason for it, sure, but let's NOT let it get to that point.

Yeah, I've been guilty of that as well. Oftentimes it's when someone has been pushing on me so often that I can no longer bring myself to tolerate their presence, so I don't really know if that counts as an appropriate reaction or not. Which is rough on me because I barely know what the textbook definition of an appropriate reaction is.

So, yes, I've contributed to the problem myself, and I'm sorry. I wish I could promise never to do it again, but I don't know how to never do it again, so I can't make that promise.

I'm not saying this to direct it at you, it goes for both sides I've been seeing lately. >.>;

That's okay. It's helpful either way.
