Anyway, the same people who call for devs to be fired and think it's perfectly fine to be toxic get defensive when someone isn't the absolute nicest to them in return. The hurt puppy dog eyes (or in some cases, weird screeching ableism) is bit hard to take seriously tbf.
If your whole concept and frame for toxicity is built exclusively on the idea that people are asking for others to be fired, then maybe... But let's face it, you and I know your entire frame for toxicity is built on far less, all I am saying is you're pretty much toxic yourself.

Also, let's not pretend that you're only being 'unkind' to those specific individuals, or only in cases where it is warranted. You're just subversively doing it, but the behavior is still very much obvious, especially with how much you engage in the aforementioned threads. Like, at this point one could pretty comfortably infer that you actually like the state of these forums, to be honest.

Also my comment is not exclusively directed at yourself.
