Oh, it's definitely piling on. It seems like every time I post, someone replies and if it is a negative response it gets a million thanks, regardless of whether it is constructive feedback or insulting.
It's demoralising and makes me really not enthusiastic about participating in the discussion here -- and I know people will undoubtedly respond positively to this. This last string was pretty tame, but people call me out for being a "puck bunny" and a HFBoards-eque fanboy simply for having an obscure favourite player, referring to Gaudreau simply as "Johnny" (it's easier to type), and expressing my wish that he gets paid because I feel he deserves it and is a good kid. But hey, #PrayForJohnny, right?
I love constructive criticism (New Era is a great example of this). Make no mistake, this forum is awesome and it is super informative and can foster great discussion. But I can't think of it as anything ther than dogpiling when it happens as often as it does. Give me a chance, OK? I can contribute positively to this forum, I really think I can.
