Thank you. I admittedly was one of those people who found it obnoxious to open an interesting post to read, only to be flooded with a bunch of large emotes and gifs that it made me leave the thread without even reading them...unless that is the intention. I also just learned (although not sure if true) that apparently those emotes/gifs are only comically large when viewed from other instances, instead of the regular sized versions you see on your instance; which I guess contributes to why some people hate them.

I understand it gets frustrating to write a lengthy and proper response only to be met with a close-minded reply that disregards every point you made without a proper argument; but IMO responding with even more obnoxious trolling to "dunk" on them just makes it worse, especially from someone looking in from the outside. Just my opinion of course. For me, I would probably just respond with a short sentence that they aren't responding in good faith and continuing the conversation is of no use, then leave. But I guess once the emote sizes are fixed it won't be as bad.
