I have no problem with the thread or its subject per se. It's more the off-the-cuff remarks like "dumbass" and such that I have a problem with. This thread is a great example of how some people just label others and move on with their lives, and how others attempt to place themselves in another's shoes and find empathy (note: NOT sympathy) with the subject of the story. Part of the published code of conduct regards not saying anything if you can't contribute in a positive manner to a thread, which more and more, people disregard.
