Well I wouldn't go that far; I'm no internet tough guy nor do I have a desire to be one. I'm just saying that people online and in Real Life may hate you for petty reasons so there's nothing to be done about it and thus you can do something else about stuff you have control over. It's just that there's too many things to worry about in life rather than some anon herping derping w/e to you. And no, you can't "nuke" anyone-- that's kind of an exaggeration as said above negs take away less points than reps. It's just plain false when I know a lot of people that express contrary opinions that don't get "nuked" to hell and it's not like I am that graceful in all my posts ever. And I get offended pretty easily already, but this?
