It's never wise or productive to set yourself up as a source of contention, having people take sides in confusion, by spreading inner hostilities from one thread to another. No matter how justified our pain from our own perspectives. This is the stuff that can result in board wars. Not a legacy any peace-loving poster would want.
It's always best to maturely contain the disagreement between the two or more parties directly involved. We naturally want to support those we like when we see they've been hurt. Encourage mutual enjoyment while posting respectfully. If, through better understanding a resolution can't be attained by those in disagreement, then the best action is to leave one another alone in peace.
As @jubilant implied; unfortunately not everyone here will like one another. It's not a requirement to post here, but being respectful to one another is.
If being targeted by actual malicious trolls, I'm sure the moderators would intervene if notified. It's what they're here for, in large part. When we try to assume their responsibilities with no authority to enforce the rules, we only add fuel to the fire.
It can be challenging to not take personal attacks personally and that is why, thankfully, they are against the standards here. If I see them, I report them without comment on the boards. Not here much anymore, so have not witnessed any lately -- including whatever happened here.
Have enjoyed both @Still keeper of the koi and @Kachina624's comments many times. I wish them both peace and pleasure in the future here and in life.
