Pirates & Traders

[Swallow]

Toris, I am afraid that you are doing this for the sake of drama after all, even if not intentional.
The topic does not really bring anything new to us, the situation described in it is a known fact. Instead it is well known that such topics often turn into flame because of opposite opinions among people and the overall attitude of victimizing / defending mentioned player types and gameplay styles.
The evidence you have provided in the OP does show that your part in encounter was not flawless, which gives the ignition to critics towards you.
Overall the topic consists of moments that ignite hate, arguing and low attitude (if escalated), among others and towards you.
It is obvious that if you would want to prevent it, you would pay more attention to setting up the topic and responses to other members.
For instance, you could have omitted evidence, write a reminder about keeping things civil and avoiding the overall blaming attitude.
I would put your words this way, for instance: "Lets discuss how can we increase the quality of RP between pirate and trader parties upon encounter. From one hand, pirates are able to demand .... ; but this can bring reactions such as .... ; I suggest that to prevent ... , ... , and other low quality and ooRP occasions, we shall .... . I would also like to inquire your opinion on this matter."
If you'd keep the topic impersonal it'd be more civil and constructive.
Please take my critics serious, I would like to help you to avoid negative attitude, which, unfortunately, you cause yourself because of your temper and straightforwardness. This wasn't meant to offend you by any means and I am not supporting any negative attitude towards anyone here.
