Powerful stuff there. As I was watching I was thinking how thankful I am for our mods. Noone here could get away with typing those things. This needs to be posted on another fan forum.

Uhhhhhhhhh!!!!!
WOW. I have no words to comment on that video.
But looking at comments on news feeds, etc, I really wonder about some people's lives.

While this board does not go to those extremes there is plenty of hate and attaching on here to go around. Board behavior reminds me of road rage behavior. As long as you have that separation (car or internet) people will do or say anything. As George Carlin once said: The degree to which a person is an ass hole is directly proportional to how far away they are from you!

It is strange and sad how so many people in our society are willing (especially on social media) to engage in personal attacks on others for the most silly of reasons (generally because of some prejudice or even because of a difference in opinion). It's easy to shrug your shoulders and explain it away as people channeling their own horrible insecurities and a defense mechanism to cover up their own failures in life, but it's probably not that simple. I think it's probably more accurate to say that a very vocal minority in our society are simply bad people at heart who get a sick thrill out of doing bad things to other people.

Egriz has a thread about this video in the Locker Room folder titled "Nobody on Egriz would do this".

Things devolved quickly.

I have watched this happen in several situation. The one thing that never shocks me is that women are hardest on successful women. They eat their own! Sad that it happens.
