So that's what that anon meant when it said "Main pissed off Rogue". Though I'm still wondering why it also said that Fanon pissed off Sel, but I guess that's irrelevant here. That explains your relatively-long absence.

Just to point out: There are trolls, mostly old school, that troll by pointing out flaws in things. I call them, "clever" trolls. For example, while a modern troll would go to a Doctor Who forum and say something like "dis Suckz, hou can pepol like this shit?", a Clever troll would say the same, but actually state the reasons for why it sucks. The actual reasons, the flaws both in-universe and out-of-universe. Why clever? Because this will piss off most Who fans, like he wants, but if they respond he knows there will be people that will defend him.

Basically, they start a war with X, knowing that they did it in a way that will convince Y to help them as they don't know their real reasons for doing so. At first it may look like caustic criticism, but it's actually just a smarter trolling.
