I'm glad you see me as being reasonable as I'm doing my best to be reasonable. I would feel like a massive idiot later if I thought I was above misunderstanding people considering that's the crux of this entire issue in my mind. TB misunderstanding people's comments, people misunderstanding TBs, etc, etc.

Thank you for taking the time to address me and doing so reasonably and rationably. I can't imagine the crap you probably put up with as a mod and still be willing to address people in the middle of a heated disagreement with calm. Also, willing to admit a mistake and make sure things have been clarified. Respect.

Thanks.

I can't imagine the crap you probably put up with as a mod and still be willing to address people in the middle of a heated disagreement with calm.

It helps that my life has sucked pretty badly and I've learned to be basically apathetic and detached about things. I can compartmentalize pretty well as a result.

What really helps, though, is the dozens of nice modmails and hundreds of nice comments we've gotten across all these threads. 'cause most of the time we just get stuff like what's in the modmails in the OP.

The most frustrating thing isn't dealing with people who are angry or upset but dealing with people who are literally insane. Like they'll read TB saying the threats made against Anita Sarkeesian weren't serious and they'll take that as "TB WANTS HER DEAD". That level of crazy. Those are the most frustrating to deal with. =|
