There were too many who seemed to thrive on that type of atmosphere. I left those sites and never returned.

Exactly ... the one board where a lot of hurtful things happened, they finally banned Mal entirely, and while at first it felt upset, later it realized they had done a big favor. That place being both toxic AND sucking you in too easily, it becomes easier to stay away by being banned. But yeah, before they got finished destroying the last vestige of Mal's hope and faith -- in God, in humanity, in everything -- they ran many of the GOOD people who stood up for the REALITY of things into the ground too, and hurt them too, just because they tried to stand up for Mal and others who got flamed and hurt incessantly.
