I wasn't the first to take it to that level. Go back to the Disc thread - this has been going on for a couple of weeks. I'm not saying it is OK that I have said a thing or two, but I don't spend half of a page insulting someone. I'll admit that it was very weak of me to let him get to me. So like I said yesterday, I'm making it a point to try to uninvolve myself. However, if he's going to write another insult post, it should at least be in response to something current, or better yet - find his happy place. I'm not going to be trolled anymore.
I would never deliberately avoid responding to things that anyone says to me. Considering that I'm nearly always doing something else at work at the same time, alt-tabbing screens frequently, having people come in my office, etc., before I can ever complete a paragraph, let alone entire post, yes, things will get missed, especially since I'm not using the quote function anymore since I was criticized for it. If there is anything in particular that anyone addresses with me in a respectful manner, I will do my best to respond. However since last evening, I decided that I will not waste my time dignifying a wall of text that is written to be demoralizing more than intellectually challenging, with a response. Is it giving in? No. I lost track of time and was late to raid yesterday because I was so compelled to defend myself. It's not worth it if it's negatively impacting my life.
Another factor in this decision is that there is only so much room on these forums before people will pass out from reading walls of text. I started condensing my responses (or have been trying to!) since that Disc thread, quite purposefully, since I was criticized for responding to every tidbit. Do you want to watch people argue for 10 pages? Probably not.
Exactly my point of survival - that's the biggest point of contention with what Harky says for the past couple of weeks that I started reading this priest forum. He acts like everything is black and white and purely HPS, no consideration for RNG, no consideration for the difference in damage and healing team makeups when making comparisons, with little regard for who lives, etc. That's what got under my skin in the first place, when someone acts like they know everything, tunneling on meters, and insulting other people that disagree.
You know what's funny? I had more base mana during TOC because I still used blended gems. I wasn't as practiced at some fight mechanics to maximize my Rapture returns then, so I still needed it. You'll have that much mana much sooner than you expect.
My wasteful and lazy gimmick/game is healing heroics using one spell the entire time, whether it's Holy Nova or PoH. XD
