Oh dear... Yes, a fracas like that would lead to me unfriending the persons who chose my electronic space to have a dummy spit of ignorance and idiocy. I don't think I know anyone who'd do that, however, and I have this policy of only friending people who I know who they are.

Some of the post-breakup status wars are really something, too. Where "something" = "sad," mostly.

I'm sure you could find similar idiocy on Twitter, YouTube, MySpazz, and LJ, though. I think LJ has several communities devoted to pointing out the stupid elsewhere on LJ, in fact...

Yeah, every time I start wondering whether YT comments could possibly be as painful as I remember them being, I end up regretting it.
