Somehow, these threads always degenerate to a couple of guys talking about others taking immense pleasure in pain and suffering, even though nobody else in the thread ever says that they have such pleasure in the pain and suffering.
In fact, I don't recall ever having seen any such posts on TFL.
Now, this is not to say that these folks who insist on all this pain and suffering talk don't/won't say that they do find such posts, it's to say that it is, quite literally, in their own imaginations.
It's classic vilification.
One thing that these threads have in common (unfortunately along with many others on TFL) is that folks seem to go out of their way to misunderstand and/or mischaracterize the opposite argument.
There's no "can you explain that further", there's no "maybe he doesn't mean that like I read it..."
Nope. Just blow ups, denegration, innuendo, flaming and invectives.
It's embarrassing, or should be. Apparently it's not, as it just keeps happening over and over.
