      Is it hyperbolic when the flame war was of their making and has been stoked and perpetuated by that same user posting more and more about it ever since?

        Yes it is. Being teased in a comment section is one of the mildest things that can happen to you online.

        Deeply antisocial is language that applies to stuff like the extremely normal rape and death threats, dick pics, and harassment that happens all the time.

        It’s not like they’re pming you, just view a different page.

          And that is why you’re siding with the person that made this entire thread (and the prior thread it refers to) because of reasons totally not like “being teased in a comment section.” galaxy-brain

          Unlike the poster you’re championing, who needs to heroically continue the crybully crusade.

            This is peak brainrot, I’ve taken pains to highlight that I do not in fact agree with their current conduct. Of course, since I think you’re being hyperbolic I must endorse a stupid flamewar!

            Just… go outside, say hi to a neighbour, have a normal interaction with someone, realise this whole thing is trivial and stupid.

            Anyway, I have a note here that this isn’t the only toxic interaction I’ve had with you, so I think I’m just going to block you and get on with my day. I hope you can relax a bit, and not get so worked up about trivial shit in the future.

              Your hypocrisy is astounding enough that absolutely everything you just said applies at least as much to yourself, especially because you’re the one concern trolling about my mental wellness or lack thereof, all because of a “stupid flamewar” as you put it.

              I don’t know if you’re just a hypocritical stan for a perfect internet stranger or just that internet stranger’s thinly veiled alt, but take your own advice. In fact crush up that advice and snort it for faster absorption.

              Please.

          You’ve got another person here saying it is one step down from violence. Does it depend on the sect of the person doing it?

      When someone is posting enough to be nearly half the flame war, including resurrecting it in a new thread because they just need the attention ig, it provides a pretty large data set.
