Is it just me, or is it really common to see a very interesting and rather significant topic to suddenly give way to what could be recognized as mindless internet phenomena bashing the topic sometimes for no reason, leading to flame wars and other stuff that really shouldn't exist?
I mean, it feels extremely natural to expect someone to tell me:
Yes, it's you.
Seriously, why do people think they're funny when they do things like this? Do they expect praise? Even I am not innocent for things like this. Why do we do this?
I see people verbally attack each other with absolutely no grounds of meaning to do so. Some people may come along and do something with absolutely no impact on a reader who then comes along to attack this person with no purpose. One theory: destructive thoughts carried from outside this community.
