I agree, especially with BrutaLity's case. I don't think she was flaming (and even provided links to the definition from various sites to prove it) but people still act like she was. I was doing the exact same thing as her, stating my opinion, and quite honestly, I don't know why people got involved like it was some big fight, neither of us were offended by the other, however, only she is accused of being a flamer, I personally think that's very unfair.

I think that the difference is simple: respect. Did they call someone out personally? Did they insult someone or a group of people? Or did they just disagree? I think it's very clear to see the difference. I said this to explain to Pitlsa in the -Jelsa- Warning Thread:

There's a thin line between hating and giving an opinion, but there is one, example:

"I really don't like this character, they're annoying."

and

"I HATE THIS CHARACTER!! ANYONE WHO LIKES THEM IS STUPID!!"

''With the first one, while someone who likes said character might be mad someone else doesn't, it's still respectful, they're not calling anyone out, and not over exaggerating about what they think. The second one is disrespectful, calling out everyone who likes the character ("Anyone who likes them is stupid") and therefore, being disrespectful.''

I completely agree. But there's one thing, people could get it wrong. Again, like with BrutaLity, people thought she was flaming, and the Admin made a mistake, she listened to them. I think that Pitsla doesn't see the difference between hating and stating opinions, considering the fact that she thinks the person stating the opinion was wrong, and the person who cursed and called everyone "stupid" was right. But, that's why I'm here to help her.
