The absolute irony in this topic is that the very toxicity the OP pointedoutis on display in many of the replies that border on hostile. There is no excuse for bullying, it should never be tolerated, nor should it be expected. Bullying and similar abuse in not a natural part of the Internet, it is a consequence of too many people believing that they are untouchable and free of consequence for their words or actions. It's not a natural aspect of the Internet, its an unfortunate aspect of human nature free of restraint.

Each of us control only how we act and react, we do not control others words or actions.
