Standards, or tyranny of the majority? (1.18 / 11)

The first sour note on the Chopra thread came from JakeS:

Chopra? Gimme a friggin' break! The man is a class-A woo-woo.

This insulting and obscene comment was still rated 4.0 the last time I looked...

And for some reason metavision is apologizing and the "community" graciously accepts the apology.

Are there actually standards, or is it just tyranny of the majority?

It's alright, FPS. I want to be clear with me and I am aware of signs that others apologize in their own way, in their own time. Thank you!

Now that is a classic troll comment.

Do you actually enjoy doing that sort of thing?

It's even worse than that, you know (none / 0)

It's the tyranny of a minority. No need to hold your punches for us!
