So it's either Lana or Arcann?

Cawyden's original post was referring to the Arcann people, that's who they were talking about, how they're entirely respectful and Io agreed with that sentiment, and I was disagreeing with both.

I've pretty much only felt abuse from one group, I have no issues with the other fan clubs and I leave the offending ones alone and hope they will leave me be too.

Definitely. There's no need to go pollute fan threads of characters that you don't like or follow people around the boards just to make them unhappy. I respect people's right to enjoy their favorite in their fan thread.

As for Quinn, yeah, it made no sense to me what they did on Iokath with the kill option. I could see had they left it in at the time maybe, even though I forgave him every time, but 10 years after the incident makes no sense.

I've had nothing but positive experiences when it comes to posting in the Arcann thread, and I have had negative experiences (and seen people treated impolitely/rudely) by fans of other characters, so we have very different experiences. I feel that mostly proves that people prefer not to cannibalize one of their own -- it's much easier to be impolite or rude to people you feel belong to the out group.

I can't agree with your quoted statement. I haven't gone into troll anyone else's fan thread, nor have my friends. I don't know what happens in fan threads that I don't frequent, as I said, already, I don't read them, they don't exist to me and I'm not so rich that I can afford extra accounts lol, so this is it, what you see is what you get. I don't care what happens in threads I don't frequent.

That's fine, and I suspect it's largely owing to the fact you're positive about Arcann, of course they will welcome people who like him, that, I would think is the point of the thread. I've had plenty of trolls come into the Quinn thread over the 15 months or so it's existed, mostly I just point them to the hater thread, heck I'd even link them. I just don't get why people would bother. As much as I dislike some companions or characters I wouldn't go into their fan threads.

I'm glad you've enjoyed positive experiences, I haven't and would really prefer not to have to deal with that unpleasantness again.

*sigh* I never said you trolled anyone else. That wasn't even in the quote. I'm not sure how you're misunderstanding that,.

Do you really think that people who have trolled the love threads have been the only instances where fans of LI #1 have been nasty or rude to fans of LI #2? Because I don't. I've seen it all over the board. I've seen plenty of Quinn, Theron, Arcann and Lana fans all kick each other in the teeth in MANY threads around this board.

Maybe you haven't done it personally but if you're going to tell me that every single Quinn or Theron fan ever has been nice and hasn't bashed fans of another LI here, there's a bridge I'd like to sell you.

Heck, I'm too intimidated to even talk to the female fans *in my own guild* because I've felt so alienated by other fans on this board.

I didn't misunderstand, I'd just prefer not to be 'lumped in' as part of a generic whole when I haven't done a thing. Can I speak for all fans? No. Can I speak for myself? Yes. The two people I'm close to on this board, haven't trolled anyone either, so I include them with me. The rest? Who knows, I don't read threads I don't like. I've seen plenty of nastiness around the boards too, that go beyond the fan threads, so keep your bridge lol. I've always kept it about the character I don't like, and always kept it in a thread that isn't a fan thread. That's me trying to be respectful.

I think all of this thread, the "Where's my Peeps" threads that originated half...ish way throught "KotFE" and many others in between should be Directed at (or Noticed by) Bioware. The "Zakuul" story, now and seemingly going forward are the cause. The situations in the forums among the community are a symptom and will further deplete the game for everybody. Address the cause and the symptoms will automatically lower. Other players are not the cause for missing or deadened or controversial companions.

(bolding mine)
I've also had bad experiences I'd rather not repeat, believe me.

And it might have something to do with me being positive about Arcann (as I said, it kind of makes me part of the in group). I'm positive about many, if not most of the companions, though.
And Arcann thread also has critics popping in, just like Quinn thread. I think all fan threads would get those eventually if they lasted long enough (not everyone is as polite as you), but it's possible that both Quinn and Arcann get more than most, since the characters have treated the player character badly.

One thing i still don't get, why do arcann fans request the death and/torture of Zenith, when there no sign of him returning? Zenith is lost forever, will never ever be returned, so why be even more sadistic about it? You won, that should be enough.

I haven't seen this thread you're talking about, or posts of several Arcann fans claiming they want to torture Zenith. Can you link it please?
