People, honestly, most of this thread revolves around the further humiliation of a person who already feels hurt as it is.
Even if someone is overly sensitive in your opinion, it does not change the fact that said person felt complied to write as he/she did. Honestly, I see way too many judgment-making as of late... this is not a court. You can feel and think however you want... but there is no need to enforce negative thoughts down the writer's throat... and you know what? even my own- such posts as the ones here that advocate name calling and cynicism towards a person simply form a very not complimenting image of that person. It's simply not fair.
Yes we are all used to Trolls, and we all had to face people who just wanted attention- fine, but we can't go out and assume anyone who may show a slight similarity a troll or an attention seeker.
Being zealous and offensive will not further anyone's goals nor will convince people who believe otherwise- simply because they will not want to hear from people who simply swear or condemn them. There's also absolutely no chance for you to manage convincing a person who doesn't wish to hear.
I really do think that people who don't manage to reply without restraining their emotions should first cool down, or better yet, not reply at all- for it won't do anyone any good.
The versatility of opinions and personalities here is what makes this community great, see it for the advantage that it is.
Emily- I don't personally know you nor have I saw many of your replies. If people think you may have repeated an opinion which you know tends to cause certain reactions- perhaps it will do good to re-examine your choice of words and replies.
Just as they should respect your opinion, so should you accept the general like-mindness on the issue here and not use provocative statements.
I am not saying you did that, I personally did not see this... I simply know that every situation that arises, on some level, is also our own responsibility.
The choice of leaving or not is yours... at the end of the day though I do not think you should allow yourself to feel bad over the opinions of others... they don't live in your shoes and vice-versa. I do think however that hearing out a well articulated and informative opinion, even if it opposes my own, enriches rather than hurts me.
Good luck
