The real difficulty with this for me is that at the same time, I'm watching the end results of a long harassment campaign against a funnyman on Youtube that I like finally resolve after he took a six month hiatus from his literal job just to let the people who wanted to bully him off the internet have a win. I'm already very raw and twitchy and feeling the urge to start slamming my fist at whiteboards with long accompanying rants about how suuuuure you communities are so nice but how do you treat your enemies? Hell, how do you treat people who just kind of annoy you?
Like, how am I supposed to tell who my actual allies are and who is ready to slaughter me as a lolcow if everyone "on my side" talks literally the same way as the people who want nothing but harm to me?
(Granted people being incindeary and not thinking about the consequences of their words is not exactly new.)
