I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

For sure. Just don’t ask him what he thinks of Dance of the Clairvoyants

Except that some of us know each other and have friendships/relationships in real life.

Beyond that "it's just the internet" isn't an excuse to be shitty and pretend there aren't real people in the other side.

I wasn’t suggesting that some people here haven’t developed real connections or friendships with others. To be sure, that much is true. But to hear that some people leave the board because they can’t bear to see some posts by others because it’s too hard for them to deal with is pretty ridiculous. After all, it isn’t like you and LV had this meaningful relationship or dated for five years, and where you still run in the same circle of friends where it’s just too hard for him to see your face and so he leaves. That was more my point.
