Xeno there's nothing assinine about comparing postings made that are deliberate in their baiting nature to the same sort of behavior that this case involves. Sorry if you consider it assinine or naive but we don't all subscribe to your belief that only the strong should survive in the forums. Courtesy is something that everyone should learn to use, including yourself.

You just can't assume that the person on the other side of the debate is of the same emotional and mental stamina as yourself when getting into these discussions online. So many disabled and frankly emotionally stunted individuals are online now a days because of the wide use of the internet now, you just can't assume that the other person can "Take it" or stand up for themselves. I've known many mentally disabled individuals who's parents gave them computers to play with and go online.

One particular individual I've known for over 20 years from back when Delphi was a dial up service. He was my age and his "Mommy" bought him everything he wanted. He was constantly harrassed by individuals even when they knew he was mentally incapable of defending himself and many people had to stand up to his bashers for him, including myself. So, naive? No. Been online way too long for that and seen this same sort of shit over and over again.
