I strongly disagree with the former, I agree with the latter. Imagine you’re your neighbor and you read the same advice you just wrote. You’ve now justified him bullying other people despite him likely being in the wrong. Moreover, one rarely knows the mental stability of strangers met online and offline, and some people really, really cannot handle criticism and will resort to unhinged behavior.
i mean unless they can dox you they are not a real world threat. at most they will report you and try to get you banned, which is annoying, but not going to really impact you in a large way.
in real life, yes, troll type people will try to ruin your social reputation. i had women in college spread claims of sexual assault when i rejected them for sex. they got their comeuppance eventually but it sucked to be harassed by random people who believed their lies. and a lot of people are increasingly mentally unwell and unhinged and will resort to violence if you upset them.
