Every so often you come across someone who thinks they're an "Internet Tough Guy." Their response to about everything they don't like is along the lines of "I don't give a f**k." They think doing this makes them look like a tough guy. It doesn't, it makes them look like a prick.
If they can ban or block things they don't like, that's what they'll do. They are 100% cowards, deserving of zero respect, and not worthy of any thought cycles at all. So, we forget about the little pipsqueaks (give them as much time as they deserve, which is no time.)

Sometimes you encounter people in real life who you think are okay, and you discover later on you got them all totally wrong. In real-life they seemed nice. But their internet persona is awful - rude, bullying, vile, spiteful and childish. And I find myself wondering if the internet persona is the true them - free of inhibitions, they can be themselves on the internet world. And - on the internet - they come across as a total twat. Or a man-child. Or maybe like the kindergarten bully who never grew out of his short pants, and now he's 60 years old and there's no hope for him. He's bitter and twisted, and rages against the world, and like a baby, takes no responsibility for himself or his actions. He's never wrong in his eyes - he thinks he's Mr Perfect. He'll never apologize for anything (he thinks he's a tough guy, but he's not, he's a pip-squeak.) He's a lost cause. He's only worthy of being forgotten. Consigned to the scrapheap of bad experience. A lesson learned - some people are total c^nts!
Remember, you are in control of your life, no one else is. No matter how important/special someone thinks they are, they are nothing to you. They are an irrelevance. They hold no power over you.

I find myself encountering fakes. People who say they love one thing but really don't, they just love themselves. People who profess to caring about some kind of community, but they don't really, they are just in it for themselves, they don't care at all about that community.

There are people who I've met in real life who I thought "yes, they're okay, they're a nice guy." It's only later on that I realize "that was the vilest person I've ever met in my life, good riddance I will never associate with him ever again." There are some incredibly pathetic and small-minded people in the world.

It really doesn't cost anything to be civil to people. Rudeness is totally unnecessary. Free speech is great, but you have to ask "is this speech necessary!?" A good rule is that if you've got nothing positive/constructive to say, say nowt.
And those people whose souls are beyond redemption (i.e. they will never ever change their ways and become a nice/good person) just ignore their miserable presence on this world. They are evil people, and you will never ever understand why they are the way they are, and you don't want to understand, or need to understand. They are just their tragic, pitiful, contemptible selves.
Often if people are being nasty to you, it is down to jealousy. They wish they had what you had. They wish they were you. Because they cannot be you, they want to destroy you. Bad people only have it in them to destroy things, they are not builders.

Onwards and upwards! Get away from the sewer dwellers! Get away from those sad people who dwell in negativity! Thrive in positivity!

Ask yourself “what matters in life?”
A wretched, pathetic, vile, childish and hateful little pipsqueak, or the things you love?
Of course it is the things you love. Forget life’s tragic negative turds. Fill your heart and mind with love, allow no room for hate.
Internet prick - you do not matter!
Not much more than 20 years ago the entire internet did not matter. And arguably it still does not matter. It is not life. It is people hiding behind screens thinking they are tough guys.
Internet prick: “I blocked X on twitter, I’m such a a badass.”
Me: “No you’re not. You’re a cowardly, pathetic, childish little pipsqueak. An internet turd to be flushed down the toilet to rest in the sewer where he belongs, with all life’s other little disappointments and wastes of space.”
Love wins over hate.
I don’t hate, I have no time for hate, and leave no place for it in my mind or heart. Hateful things are flushed down the toilet, as they have zero value to me. I practice love.
Choose love!

Smaller Internet forums can have a big issue, where pathetic sad little people who otherwise would be drowned out in the noise of a larger forum, find a platform where they can spout their hate and people listen to it (because there is little else going on.) They become the big fish in a tiny pond (perhaps because there are other vile people in this community that share and feed on this hate and negativity) and love their status, and bully anyone who dares point out how ridiculous they look.
When you encounter such a place, the only good course of action is to disregard it, pay no heed to it, give it the time and respect it deserves, which is none.
Choose love!

By definition, you have to live until you die. Better to make that life as complete and enjoyable an experience as possible, in case death is shite, which I suspect it will be.
Choose love!
