Werewolf Post Game Feedback Thread

I left posting this while the game was in progress, its over now so I’m happy to post it.
I’ve only been on the FG website a short time but I’ve found it to be very friendly and welcoming.
During the game there was a very aggressive post made in response to (what I felt was) an innocuous enough post of mine. I reacted calling it out for what I thought it was, I said aggression like that was acting like a w@nker. The post that followed was just downright abusive. I wouldn’t let someone speak to me like that in RL so I don’t see why I should here.
I play these games for enjoyment and abuse like that directed towards anyone is unacceptable IMO. There was an apology the following morning, not to me, but for getting angry and then an interaction where the person in question made it be known that they felt it was dealt with in the background and shouldn’t be raised again. In fact it was directly put to them about an apology not being issued immediately, that caused another unnecessary row.
I haven’t looked up the anon account so I’m not sure which user it was.
I know people might say I have no right to complain about something like this as I fly fairly close to the wind with my jokes and humour (or what passes for humour) wouldn’t be to everybody’s liking. In RL and here I make a conscious effort to never make a personal comment about anyone, jokey or malicious in nature. For me theres a huge difference.
As someone new to this forum it comes across that you know each other very well, get on very well and like I said its been very welcoming. Something like this would make me think twice about signing up for another game, I don’t play to be spoken to like that. I’d imagine other newcomers would feel the same.
I don’t expect any response from the mods or anyone else really, there was a card issued at the time, dealt with in full IMO. I just wanted it noted that the yellow card didn’t stop this, today I’m pathetic for not wanting to engage with him. In a game which is all about language, words like pathetic and stupid stand out.

You're own posting style was terrible at times through-out the game. That sanitary towel comment was not only sexist, juvenile, but also completely dated and unoriginal. You then accuse me of plagiarism even though I attributed the term to you/someone else?

For my part, I admitted that the 'red mist' came down and I reacted poorly with my first post. I'm more than confident that players who are familiar with my style in the long-term would recognise that it was an extreme minority occurrence. I took my card and assured mods that I was done escalating the tensions in game. Specifically though, because I didn't do it yet, I am sorry to you G&R for that initial outburst.

I got slapped for that language rightfully, but not only did you thank the mod warning for unacceptable language, you then went and called me a wanker. We don't need to get into the judging what is worse, but I told another player to f**k off in a game of WW. It has happened in games. You returning fire with 'wanker' does not so much. That is why that second post which offends you most clearly is, in all honestly and admission, the work of the wanker that you called me. It fully deserves the card and whatever else follows it. By then, you deserved that response IMO for your own level of shots fired. All I regret is that I stooped that low.

You brought that level and the name calling into it, you reacted to my poor first post by thanking a mod warning about language, and then proceed to call me wanker. And you have the cheek to say you wouldn't let someone talk to you a certain way IRL?

Not only your 'sanitary towel' comment, your own language through-out the game leaves you in a glass house where you are now throwing stones IMHO. You told Wendy to 'back the f**k down' with her axe plan, called Clodagh a 'f**king head the ball', and by endgame there were even more 'f**ks' out of you. You made that sexist comment. Another time attributed racism to Dublin Andy/Clodagh for what was clearly a light-hearted post, all just unnecessary things which can grate on other players.

You are quite a new player, I've never played with you before so it's unfortunate it's gone this way although we had amicable interactions during Deadwood. I was delighted to mod a game in April that brought in 3 new players and see them take to the overall forum. I was disappointed to see a new player leave similar feedback to your own in a game I wasn't related to last Summer. I honestly get no joy out of seeing you reconsider your WW future G&R.

Apologies to all for my initial outburst, but I really don't think you're as clean in the overall furore as you portray. Unfortunately I am afk and haven't seen the rest of feedback or what else has been posted, but since it's been brought up by G&R, I have to say my part.
