zeroxxx: Steam forums are indeed toxic, lots of people are there causing all sorts of ruckus.
You just need a thicker skin.
I've been on Steam forums a bit longer than I've been here and I've been doing just fine. Again, thicker skin.
Don't ever visit MOBA's forums, though, eg Dota 2. It's beyond saving.
I still troll there. It's fun trolling people or kids around.
Just to confirm. You just need a thicker skin.

You are saying
"I'm a troll and I like upsetting people"
"Its not my fault that me acting like a yerk upsets people, its their fault for not being able to take being verbally abused"
People like you wouldn't stop at the same level of insults and abuse, just because people got thicker skin, you would continue to up the ante until you caused upset again. That what a troll is. You find someone's breaking point and push past it.
Its bullying. Neurologically its every bit hurtful as being spat at or having your property destroy or being trapped in the corner while people punch you (though that has physical damage too).
