Toxic posters aren't necessarily toxic people. It's the internet, don't get mad.

I think it really depends on the consequences of people being toxic. If that targeted person is forced out of FIRST, or worse, then yes someone shouldn't be happy about it.

Luckily I think most people can handle some toxic behavior within limits.
Not sure we should encourage people to look for the limits but one could interpret the statement above in that way.

(I am going away from this topic for a while - I can respond on forums much more quickly than many other people and I
would rather let this topic develop in my absence than make it seem like people can't get post in edgewise.)
