The difference between saying "You're dumb" vs. "Your argument is dumb." The trouble is, when people pile on, they make it personal.
That's at least what we try to adhere to, try our best at least.

I actually think blender meant internet trolls SHOULD be piled on more and this site should be more accepting of personal pilings on. If I'm wrong, I apologize.
Going back to being off-topic (or maybe now it's on-topic), it's unfortunate how this pandemic has become so political. The fact that this could have been potentially a globally unifying triumph of science and technology but is now the actual opposite and creating such divisiveness is... just sad. What's worse is that I'm not sure any amount of truth or facts or common sense can change this. I mean, we should be mourning the loss of life and celebrating the fact that there is a means to control this as best we can, and yet, here we are.
Maybe we need an Independence Day level invasion to reunite us all, but I worry even then that some would protest stay at home orders as tyranny and screw everyone else over by leading the aliens to our homes.
