It's an internet message board, I'm sure Sliver doesn't go running from the keyboard into his wife's arms because I'm calling most of his arguments stupid/ignorant/irrational. In the same way I'm not planning his real life demise... sure sometimes things may get a little heated but at other times I think it's more amusement on both ends. I'm also not going to follow him around the message board hounding him or PM him something nasty... because to be honest, I don't mind him as a poster on pretty much any other subject.

I think you're losing sight of the fact that this is an argument on the internet between people with nicknames/avatars as their representation. Calling an entire message board pathetic is well... different.
