For those of you struggling to understand...
Toxicity is like an actual fire. It doesn't just happen for no reason someone has to start it. Obviously the person that started it should be punished but you know who else should be punished? Anyone who throws more fuel into the fire to make it bigger...
Yes it's sad if a fire gets started and threatens to ruin your game, yes the fire can get out of control and ruin everything, but throwing a gallon of gasoline into the flame doesn't help anyone. Just think about that the next time you're "defending" yourself.
