    That is entirely not an excuse to be an arsehole to someone you don’t even know and for all you do could be your own sibling. The point exactly, btw.

    It’s how toxic people “justify” their own toxicity so they don’t have to realize they’re the asshole.

      Pretending like there’s not a causal relationship just because people are inherently assholes is dishonest.

      Every community has assholes and the amount of negative behaviour can be directly correlated to a products issues.

        Yes, assholes are even bigger assholes when they’re angry about something. I think we all agree on that.
