(I guess this is the right spot to express my concerns)
A certain member who shall remain nameless is
treating me like some kind of fool just because
I have different views on a certain subject.
Multiple times I have expressed my respect
for his/her views even though I have stated
that I don't necessarily agree with them.
When we discuss subjects, this member
begins to directly insult me. I'm ashamed
to admit but sometimes I insult this member
back, but I never am the one to begin with
with these insults. This member uses his/her
power as a high ranking member to give me
a negative reputation whenever this member
feels like it. This member also speaks about
me insultingly on other threads that I do not
often participate in. On these threads I have
been referred as an idiot a few times.
I'm not an overly sensitive one. Though the poor
treatment I have received from this ill-mannered
member is detestable, this member's opinion of
me I consider with very little value. However this
member has encouraged others to resent me,
and that I will not stand for. Surely this forum
must have some standard for how their members
are expected to behave. Can any action be enforced
to put an end to this escalating opposition? Can
anyone offer me advice to peacefully end this dispute
with this member, or is reasoning with this stubborn
individual a lost cause?
Please offer me assistance.
(Sorry for being vague in my complaints about this
member, but unlike some people, I have a sense of
decency when it comes proper means of discussing
an individual without directly and publically offending
them. I am not here to slur the name of this member,
despite my practically nonexistent remaining respect
for this individual. I'm simply here to inquire a way to
put a stop to this issue once and for all.)
Note: A while ago a sent a message to this member
apologizing for any offense I might have caused and
I also praising this individual's intelligence, despite
commenting on his/her closed-mindedness. I asked
for peace in that message but received no response,
and recently it has become apparent that my request
to end the hostility has been refused. So please tell
me if there is anymore I can do, or if I should just
give up trying to reach this member with reason.
(And don't try to guess this individual's username either,
if you think you know whom I am referring to, please
refrain from stating who it is. Despite my little respect
for this member, I still respect this individual enough to
not carelessly identify this member at risk of unecessarily
smearing their reputation)
