I also think they are proving MNHQ's point about troll hunting. IIRC (although I believe it was deleted) there was a thread asking if CTK was a troll. Quite a few people have had threads made about them/been discussed on threads. People have been named. Children mocked.
God knows I think MN has a massive troll problem which needs addressing more robustly, but those threads aren't the way to do it. They are just a device for people to be snarky in a faux wide eyed "we are only saying what everyone is thinking...you know, for the greater good".
Rude, spiteful and childish, and showing peoples' worst sides, not their best. Some posters on there should be fucking ashamed of themselves.
