Willow ,'Help'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
erika, do you mean something like this? link
When has that ever happened here, though?
I will at least back up Cass that it does happen, and I feel it is kind of creepy.. I'm not sure if I would say it was common though. And now I'm trying to think if I've ever been guilty of it.
sj wins at google! I probably have done it, but I probably didn't mean it as seriously as it would sound to somebody less dark-humored than myself.

Me, as well.
I'm the least woo-woo person in the world, and even I sometimes feel like, even if the intention is support for a friend (which is great!), that's a lot of bad energy being put out there.
I've also seen it in political discussions in Natter.

Yay, me! I've seen enough of those pictures in wedding albums that I knew exactly what you were talking about. They're very popular in RI or at least they were once upon a time.

Oh my dog. Really?
Yes. Really.
I agree that political discussions are out of hand almost before they begin, and named persons are piled on willy nilly, but I seriously don't recall it being common that strangers who did incidental things were vilified.
I basically agree with Scrappy. I've been in the position in the past of actually arguing with people trying to offer me support, because I felt they weren't being fair to the others in the situation.
There's certainly a time for "IT'S TINO! LET'S GET 'IM!", but validation of one person doesn't have to involve vilification of another. Everybody sucks at some point or another.
I can't think I wouldn't have noticed a call for death. Seriously.
Warts, yes, itches they can't scratch, probably. Not sure about the death thing either, but maybe it didn't bother me that much.
