Why isn’t support responding?

@LostInFoundation , thank you for your thoughtful reply and for recognizing that not everyone on this forum engages in unproductive behavior. I appreciate your support.

You’re absolutely right—I shouldn’t have let my frustration dictate my initial response. While I stand by my concerns, I realize that calling someone an idiot, even when provoked, wasn’t the best way to handle the situation. It only gave them an excuse to shift the focus onto my tone rather than addressing the valid points I raised.

That said, I’ve noticed these same individuals consistently behaving abrasively toward other members, and their behavior often crosses the line into outright bullying. Changing my tone didn’t stop them from being disrespectful, as they seem emboldened by the lack of real-world consequences in this space. It’s disappointing, especially since forums should foster constructive and respectful exchanges, not hostility.

I hope NI considers how the actions of a few can undermine the experience for others, as these forums should be a safe and supportive environment for all users. Thanks again for your encouragement—it’s a reminder that there are still people here who value respectful dialogue.
