But when you use casual language, make fun of what the person said and not the person, don't cause any damage in their actual life, and don't incite others, I think the only outcome is that you might raise the other person's consciousness and maybe they become more careful/thoughtful about what they post.
Yes, when they post something nasty. But my issue was that most of Rob's stuff was aimed at completely neutral things Branden was saying, and was just making fun of his spelling or w/e. I just don't see a purpose to that other than to make the other person feel stupid.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
