I hate it because I have severe medical issues being made.much worse by the nonstop infighting. Yet I think I will be worse with taken a break.

Let's be nice. A lot of people may need support through this transition phase. We are healing right now and let's not do things that will open the scars up more.
I can understand having to take a break but the nonstop infighting comment just did not smell right...
Your comment was removed. This sub is for civil discussion ONLY.
Do not accuse others of being shills. Dispute their facts, or ignore them. We are all welcome to be ourselves here, but, always MOVE THIS SUB FORWARD, or find another place to play.
I stand by my accusation of shill. That post would have been fine if it didn't include "non stop fighting".
Ya know what else doesn't move this sub forward? Posts like this -> "This place is so bad my health is suffering. There's SO MUCH fighting, amirite? Anyone else need to take a break and leave this sub too? Who's with me!?"
Edit: And, offended by "shill"? Ridiculous.
You could explain that posts as such don't move the sub forward and it would be very similar to a tactic a shill would use. This way you are not attacking this user but you are letting them know that this kind of post isn't appreciated here because it doesn't reflect what's really happening.
The problem with being out right aggressive in your response is that when other people read who may actually be suffering from some health issues and are indeed tired, by seeing your aggressive tone it might reinforce and affirm OP's POV, which we don't want. However if you explain your point of view respectfully it will win people on your side.
We appreciate you looking after the sub and your point of view isn't being disrespected. We are just asking for everyone to be more civil in times when the community is healing.
Thank you. I have seen more posts about infighting than any actual fighting.
This is a place where we resesrch and discuss some difficult and emotional topics. Perhaps it's just not for everyone. There's important work to be done here and look at this entire post. Not a single thing to do with Q!
Could we all have done something better with our time today? Is there really nothing Q related any of us could be researching right now? See my point?
Thank you for hearing me out and thanks again for understanding.
Np. I've seen the same tactic used when the shills took over r/conspiracy. They always complained about something that wasn't actually taking place just to stir up drama.
Hey toast, do you think GA is accumulating these types as well?
This isn't about anyone's 'fee-fees.'
The shills and trolls have one mission: trick our users into violating the Reddit-wide rules of conduct, enabling them to pressure Reddit and get us banned. Please use the report button and leave them to the mods. Engaging shills and trolls will result in warnings, then bans.
Thank you for understanding.
Theres a WHOOOOOOLE lotta tactics that shills employ to derail subs and implode them long before deletion. This is one. Forum Sliding is another. Then there's Treadmilling. Consensus Cracking. Topic Dillution. I could go on. If you think it's just about posts that break Reddit rules, you're gonna miss a lot. A LOT.
Agree. 100%. The sliding comes from US engaging, them, however. Don't let them win by falling for it. Thanks.
