As always, the report button is an excellent tool to let us know about potential harassment, Sherman =) We don't tolerate it so if we can find people actively engaging in it, we'll penalize them to the full extent of our rules.

I do want to make it clear though, and not to Sherman specifically, that people think about harassment in different ways. I've had people over the years cry about harassment when really it was a completely isolated incident and the person that was reported never really spoke to the other again. It's also important that people don't retaliate to harassment because it is only inviting more of the negativity from that user and we're less likely to do something about it since both people are being silly.

I know for a fact though I've certainly handed out warnings over the years when people follow others around on the site though just to shit-talk, warning people who have done it to you specifically, Sherman. Not cool people, not cool.

Some people even used Battle.net to attack me and avoid punishment...

Ok, Flux, you are right, I'm going to start using the report button much more. at least against those whom I know and constantly attack me for whatever reason. I hope things calm down a bit thanks to that. Also, I'm going to try to avoid engaging in pointless fights as much as I can, I promise. :)

If your profile name is a reference to your birth year, meaning you are 32/33...you need to get a better hobby than posting on the forums 20 hours a day. 

 You're bloody lost, mate.  He can do what floats his boat, so can you.

If you don't want people to speak out against you, perhaps don't do things like make an attention-whoring topic in the site feedback section of the forum. If a specific user(s) is harassing you then PM a mod about it, don't cry a river in public in the hopes that your adoring fans come flock to your support.

At least read the thread title, bro. :/

if you're in the "i'm the victim"-mode, you already lost

I just want all the mods and Fluxflashor (and other users if possible) to be aware of the situation, that's all. This can happen to anyone, even you.

Honestly, you sound like an addict starving for attention and when you can’t get it, because you no longer know where to post your “controversial opinions” about Hearthstone, you create threads about yourself. Get off your high horse

 This just in: dingbat with negative opinion about a game goes to fan site for said game and speaks negatively about it, gets harassed by rabid fans on said fan site. Up next: is water wet!?

I've never heard of you but a quick look through your post history leaves me confused. What did you expect to happen on a hearthstone fan site?

Looks like someone ran out of threads to comment on (stir up the pot) and has now made his own to get sympathy because others don't agree with him. Oh the world is against me, he says. Not enough people are paying attention to me, I have to do something about it. Salud, your salty tears taste delicious good sir.

Ok...

Every coin has two sides:

1. Strong opinions create strong reactions.          

2. People act on what they see, they can't read your mind on forums so they act upon your language.

3. Becoming a noted or notorious poster is up to you. When people feel your opinions get slammed all over the forums, they start to recognise the posts and the poster. This triggeres a response, that's logic.

4. Maybe people got offended and feel you maybe did the same to them in a way as you seem to get a mob of people after you now.

5.Forums are full of people of all ages and backgrounds. It is easier to speak up, rant or be furious on. People should try to behave in a way that they would treat their friends when it comes to discussion, but trolling still seems to be a thing, sadly.

Just a thought.
