Dies to Removal

Well, perhaps I can answer your question best with one of my own. What is an "internet mad?" It's something I never understood very well, and outside of the MTGverse I haven't heard the phrase used un-ironically since, like, 2006. It doesn't really make sense to me that the transfer medium for the angering stimulus should make one bit of difference as to the reaction to it (if simply from an evolutionary standpoint), and this is a view shared by almost everyone I recognized to be of worth over on chess.com. See, you couldn't flame people, of course, and
trying to convince someone that they're being an asshat was an uphill battle, so the most common response to any sort of asshattery was to spam the everliving hell out of them, which (again, considering that these were chess nerds who didn't differentiate between IRL mad and Internet Mad) proved an effective method both for letting the person know they'd pissed you off, as well as letting them know you found their stance... questionable.

There was one memorable incident where some chess dad posted in the Queens thread musing on the justification of, get this, abusing his kid to make him better at chess. It was, as you can imagine, a galvanizing issue divided quite clearly between the people who wanted to know the guy's address so they could call Child Services, and the people who could produce quite a body of evidence that, yes, giving your child strong negative response to failure made them fail less often. Now either side couldn't just say "You're a terrible
person" or accuse the other side of lying, as those were both infractable, but it was for some of us an important enough topic that the idea of simply walking away wasn't a desirable action. Thus spamming the opposition into oblivion became our weapon of choice, and it worked well there, especially the practice of using far too few words to validate your own stance; I've always had a problem understanding why that form of attack pattern loses its validity when someone can just seemingly turn their brains to "internet mode" and dismiss your veiled accusations.
