    I personally have just learned from experience that people who get off easy are likely to continue on the path of destructive behavior.

    Likewise, although my experience is with a racist idiot on a Discord server who I was far too lenient with.

      Oh, absolutely. The internet adds the layer of anonymity, too, so that certainly doesn’t help.

        You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make them drink.

        And if that horse is being hateful and violent on top of that, it’s a lost cause.
