Look, I’m not saying each opinion is constructive, but credit where credit is due - there are people that engage these threads fair and square while providing some fuel for the discussion. There are trolls about, sure, but they are few and far between and not nearly as engaged as some folks.

The Taunt thread:

> [@Remove taunt from Loyal Protector, ASAP](https://forums.fatsharkgames.com/t/remove-taunt-from-loyal-protector-asap/121499/3):
>
> blud we have Iron Breaker in VT2 and he doesn’t break the game
> 
> We just need shotgunners to not go melee when taunted and that’d be it

I like this take. Doesn’t completely derail the thread and provides a perspective that could be considered instead of “just removing taunt from the game/the ability in question”.

The Inferno staff thread:

> [@Inferno Staff is still an issue even after Uncanny changes without effort or skill expression](https://forums.fatsharkgames.com/t/inferno-staff-is-still-an-issue-even-after-uncanny-changes-without-effort-or-skill-expression/121498/9):

And sorry for brining @vror’s takes up, but their takes are grounded in the spectrum of reality I would like the space ship called “Balance(D)arktide State” to more-or-less land in - there is a lot of coverage, even if I don’t fully align with it and would like there to be some space for broken/fun balance to be.
