there's a line you shouldn't cross. What you give out, you get back, so I try not to be nasty, but I am human and have faults like all the rest. I don't feel the need to purposely hurt people as I know how it feels, as do most of you.

Like Holly, I see only 3 people here as being just natural-born toxic assholes. The sight of them instinctively repulses me. They are the only 3 here I have no problem at all saying are cunts. But I'd never go beyond that.
In real life, it's easy to avoid people you're not drawn to. Online, it's a bit tougher.
Unless you have someone on 'Ignore', it can be hard not to be aware of fuckwits foisting their bullshit on you. It's right there, in front of your eyes...
