Stack Overflow is that dimly lit alley filled with dudes clearly looking for a bad time while brandishing knives. I don’t think the innocents that edit Wiki roll in those kinds of neighbourhoods.

Trolling is an effective method for accomplishing goals unless carefully guarded against by other people with experience? Never would have guessed…

Haha, I think it is more bullying by way too online people who severely need to go touch grass for some time.

Unfortunately, young people pushing boundaries and very angry people needing to vent justifiable rage will not go away any time soon.
In bad cases, they sometimes don’t touch grass because they want all the grass to die. You can’t reach that person very easily, there’s a whole mountain range of anger in the way. The Earth just has all sorts on it, and this is one of them. It’s best to understand what it’s all about.
