    instead of asking rhetorical questions like this a good faith person would explain what they are here for and argue why what they are doing serves that purpose. "What do you think my motivations are? What do you think my end-goal of coming here is?" Is trolling dude. No one is going to know your "true" internal motivations. It's all based on how you actually present yourself.

        Yeah I gotchu. Writing this post is better than what you were doing here in this thread. Rhetorical questions often come off as being a troll. Especially when they're used a lot. In this post you just said your ideas and explained why you believed them. This to me anyway feels very genuine. I hope you'll stick around :heart-sickle:

        Also don't feel too discouraged by people being rude online. People are so much nicer when talking to people in real life and much more patient with them. It's important to remember how dehumanizing a username is compared to a real breathing person in front of them. I definitely think you have a point about people jumping to their guns to quick though. (Me included) Have a nice day man!

          Thanks man. I appreciate it. It's exhausting trying to defend myself. I guess I just have to get used to the culture here or something. I wish it wasn't so toxic.
