As is the idea that anyone would take such assertions seriously. Is anyone here heartbroken or even genuinely offended because someone told them on an internet forum that they shouldn't be able to buy a toy? Any actual offense to such a statement can be traced as much to oversensitivity as it can to obnoxiousness.

I don't know, I don't answer for other people. They could be, they may not be, but it's not the point. One person posts a negative comment and all hell breaks lose and 50 members gang up on a person to ride the train. They may not take offense or even take posts literally, but I'm sure it takes away from their enjoyment of the board, and having the freedom to say what they want without being attacked for an opinion.
