I get the desire some people have to be complete jackoffs to other people on the Internet, but I just don’t get that need to take that farther, to try to hurt someone in real life (for whatever value of “hurt” you want to include there). I don’t understand it. Even with the vilest of people I’ve encountered on the ‘net, the idea that I should try to do something to hurt that person in real life has simply never occurred to me, and even if it did, I wouldn’t actually do it.

I’m sorry you’ve had to deal with similar stuff in the past, and I sincerely hope you never have to again.

Honestly, I’m surprised at the reaction this is getting… because it happens every day. Not that it should rate as normal…. but, sadly, it does.
