"I will never understand
all the invective that comes out in these kinds of forums. It's just flat out strange to me. I have heard the theory that it is because it is anonymous so people feel free to vent, but that doesn't make sense to me, because I would know, at least, what I was saying: I am not, after all, anonymous to myself. If someone calls me an idiot I simply would feel like I was an idiot if I replied in kind. There are some really smart folks posting here: why do you do it? Get into these exchanges of invective? Don't you find it a total waste of your time?
What is the point of all this back and forth invective? It is tedious to have to start to read it and then scroll down once I realize what it is. It's not worth reading these things if it is going to be so full of this venting or whatever it is like it is today. If you think someone is a troll then why not ignore them? And if you disagree with them, why not argue with them?"
It has been especially harsh today, its an emotional moment.
Though this has been like an unstoppable train that's been barreling in this direction for many weeks with a tragically predictable outcome, it is nonetheless a bitter pill.
So the residents and guests are taking it out on the trolls.... fair enough?
