It would really be a shame to allow a single unpleasant incident, caused by one person, to chase you away from something you enjoy.
The CR is a better place with posters like you.
Besides, from a totally selfish perspective, I’d hate to see someone who enjoys riddles and puzzles leave ?
“Would you continue?“
Pretty much everyone here, including moi has been attacked, mocked and/or unjustly accused of something at some point.
It isn’t fun, regardless of who you are and who’s “attacking”.
Nonetheless, here’s my perspective on incidents like these:
1) The person doesn’t know me, and their mistaken impression doesn’t change who I am.
2) The person may have issues which I’m not aware of.
3) The person may be a crank, who I won’t allow to affect what I do.
4) Sometimes, if I feel there was a misunderstanding, I’ll try to explain myself in as dispassionate a way as possible. Other times, if I feel it won’t be helpful, or it will just further inflame the “attacker”, I’ll ignore it.
In an online forum environment, the CR is by far the most mentchlich forum I’ve seen.
Even so, not every person will be nice all the time.
So be it – the good still outweighs the bad by a wide margin, and it’s worth sticking around.
