Pammy, thank you for the reply. You make a fair point, defining yourself by sensitivity is not the same as simply being sensitive, and i think that distinction is important here.

Abrasive means tending to rub or wear something down through friction. I think it is a fitting word in context. as an example, when someone raises a genuine point or question and is met with "Hah, what? You are taking yourself and this community a bit too seriously." i would class that as abrasive. it is dismissive by nature, and depending on the soul receiving it, could cause them to disengage entirely rather than refine. Also, "Some people, sensitive ones like you, have an issue with my approach". framing sensitivity as a character flaw rather than simply a different disposition is another example of what i mean. my point was never that henu's methods are without value, friction does refine. only that variety in approach is a strength, not a concession. I hold no ill will here. years of consistent dedication to answering others speaks for itself.

Being too sensitive is a problem when it is to the point that it is interfering with your life or causing problems. Just as any other type of personality trait, it should be in correct and healthy balance.

When told something like "calm down, you are taking it too seriously." The reaction from most people will usually be be something like "Ok, maybe you are right." Which basically was Acolyte of Pan's reaction in the end. In trying to "defend" him, you are going even farther to be over sensitive about a situation as a 3rd party, when the person who is actually involved doesn't even have any problem.

@Ol argedco luciftias supposing you're Batman and GoldenWings/netrunner/many other nicknames is the Joker - why are you trying to reason with him? Do you know why he does this?

I have an idea - because he can, and the fact that nothing has been done to permanently solve this situation only strengthens his resolve. Though I presumie nothing has been done in this regard as he is too insignifican to bother. If this is the case, fine.

How do you guys know this for fact? curious.

One reason is he wrote to me in a private message to ask me a question, and in that message he said that he is Goldenwings with a new account name. I didn't remember that Goldenwings was a troll, but I guess so. And there were several other names before that.

The same. Bragging left, right and center to everyone he knows here who had the dubious pleasure to indulge him in his trolling.

Hi! The consistency deserves praise. So I'd like to give it, I think it is great that you have been doing what you are saying for years. You don't have to care about people who have an issue with your approach either, but what they are saying may be an obstacle in your own path. If this makes sense, I think it would be better if you added more tools in your arsenal, not because what you are doing is wrong but because there may be obstacles that your current tools (approach, tone) fall short to remove. My apologies for giving unsolicited advice, I know it is a very annoying thing.

It is what it is. I am not supposed to please everyone, for the time being anyway. And yes, I am very aware of the potential prospects for the future. It simply does not sit right with me when a third party interjects, especially when it is someone who is dishonest in their intent.
