Posting a question in these forums is almost certain to get pointless, unhelpful responses, such as "use google" or "you're lazy" etc. My opinion that people that have used their time to read your post, and then even more time to write a useless unhelpful response, don't even deserve to be acknowledged. Either they don't know the answer, are trolls, or are dicks. Regardless, i like to think by ignoring them you've effectively wasted the time they took to write their worthless contribution. You can often identify these sorts of players within a few sentences, allowing you to quickly disregard the rest of their post.
So, ignore them, keep on posting your question with complete disregard, and eventually someone like me or another helpful player will come along and post something meaningful to help you along EvE's massive learning curve. Post with your main, like a BOSS! |

And then get forum banned for spamming.
Don't listen to this man. Especially about the part where he tells you to keep posting here instead of asking in game or just looking something up.
People in this community respect self sufficiency and ability to display independent learning. Don't be a parasite. Not posting on my main, and loving it.-á Because free speech.-á |

Someone makes a post on EVE forums. Maybe they ask a question or pose an opinion. Someone answers with an off hand, snarky, rude or otherwise dismisive response. The OP then defends him or herself by attacking the rude responder and then...OH CHIT...IT'S ON NOW!
The next several post belittle the OP in defense of the snarky guy. "If you want someone to take you seriously you should not be rude to people that respond" or "with that attitude it is no wonder you have no friends that will help you" or "If you want help you should not use such language."
Meanwhile, snarky dude guy gets a pass.
It is very funny to watch this play out. Do people expect rude responses to legitimate posts go unchecked just because they are made by friends?
I tend to attack anyone who is rude to me in response to a post. Just makes sense to return favors, but these damned white knights are a new kind of butt hurt (looking at you Taoist Dragon & the like)
Any who, Just posting after reading several such posts and wondered if anyone else noticed.
PEACE
I've been with the game since 2003 and I remember a time when the EVE forums were a nice place to hang, but apparently some people live here, and they spend a lot of time here explaining to people how dumb they are.
It's a shame, but they eventually move on to other games, or their real life improves and their feelings of self-worth improves.
In the end it's a Win Win situation, EVE forum works as their sweet home on the internet, a place where they can vent the unfairness of real-life. Even though they will be quick to refute what I just mentioned, it's just a symptom of their condition. |

You linked me in that post and from what you're saying I'm assuming I'm the "snarky troll" and Taoist is 'white knighting' me. Really? How does that post even sound snarky? Not sure if everyone else thinks otherwise but I think that's a reasonable response to your thread, what you then reply to my post on the other hand, I'm pretty sure that counts as snarky.
You know, when you think everyone around you is snarky, it's sometimes because it's actually you who's the problem. Food for thought. |

Hey you started the thread looking for response and now you're not treating people who respond with respect. Don't be an ass!

Due, i read that thread, you asked something and imemdiatlly started to be arrogant toward people answering to you. And honestly you seems on the same pattern in this thread too.
in the average EVE player culture informations/help shouldn't be given for free to people not showing some effort: answering is a gift.
So if someone ask something and then become rude and arrogant toward other players giving answers then this is the worst thing; of course people bang him.
Mostly if the original question is stupid or plainly wrong.

Just makes sense to return favors, but these damned white knights are a new kind of butt hurt (looking at you Taoist Dragon & the like)... If you start a thread with what you believe is a sensible and sincere post, and you get a rude response, why do you "attack" the rude responder? If the reason for your thread was to ask for information or make some sort of point, the rude responder has already demonstrated their unwillingness to help you. Why not ignore them? Is it because it's "your" thread and you have a responsibility to maintain control?
Some people are in the forums (fora?) to exchange information and ideas. Some are here to banter. Personally, I try to add a light-hearted tone with humorous one-liners , which I understand is not always successful or helpful. Some are here to PVP and "win" debates. Some like to demonstrate their semantic superiority. Some are in it for whatever grief and tears they can generate. The point is, if a reply is not to your liking, you don't have to take the bait. Or, maybe you do. Sometimes it's hard to resist a good troll.

In short, yes.
Why, you ask?
Because YOU can't do a damned thing about it. And when you get angry and "attack" back, all you are doing is adding fuel to your own hated fire.

OP, I read the topic that you linked and I can honestly say without any intention to troll that YOU are infact the problem. You should review how you are treating your fellow forum denizens before you start pointing fingers.

If an OP post something that is any or either of: - stupid - incoherent - discussed and beaten to death 15 times during the last 10 years. - uninformed - plain silly
Then Op is going to be met with ridicule and contempt.
If then OP replies in an aggressive way to the ridicule then the blood is in the water and the sharks will gather to feed.
Posting in an uninformed way can be passed, but if OP remains and appears to defend it's lacking of basic cognitive ability then people will pile in on the killmail since it's an easy gank.
But the solution is simple.
If you post something and get blasted for it, ponder why you got blasted and don't forget to ponder if you might have been wrong, since that's the most obvious reason.
