If everyone feel it is toxic, while you don’t, you might want to consider the thought that it is actually toxic.

Citation needed. "Everyone", really?

Shame that you are focusing on a single detail rather than the point of my comment. No not everyone in the world, it should have been in quote marks. Glad to have cleared that up to you.

Don't mind me, in every thread about SO in here there are lots of comments mentioning the same, and I agree. Your experience may not be the same and that is ok.

If every thread also have someone claiming it not to be as toxic, shouldn't that also count the same? Aka you should then "consider the thought it is not toxic".

So are you getting paid by SO or something? Are you one of these moderators everyone hates? Why are you so all over this?

SO has built up a toxic reputation over many years. And yet somehow, according to you it's false? Why don't you just let this one die? You can collect your paycheck from SO now; you've done your bit.

I'm flagging this and ending it here. Ironic to complain about SO being toxic while you're posting unfounded attacks and accusations like this.

> unfounded attacks and accusations

it's "founded" because you are all over this topic, and it's legitimate to ask why.
