Exactly. The single fastest way to get a whole thread, not one post, but a whole thread, no matter how filled with constructive comments, is to make negative, inflammatory comments. From behind the scenes I have sifted through tons of posts to find the good bits. When I asked why the topic was passed up: too much garbage to sift through.

Despite what some people seem to think, the devs are real people who do take some comments personally. They are here genuinely trying to help and work with everyone. And like it or not, if they get offended, the first thing that generally happens is walking away from the topic.

Madfloyd and quite a few other devs, mods, and community members come here and endure the stress put on them by the complaints.
