Discounting any literal intent in their superlative, yeah, but aren't opinions relative?

The worst people of the internet differ based on who you ask. For me, moral absolutists and people who spew out hot takes and twisted arguments for likes are pond scum on the rational discourse totem pole, tied with ad folk.

For others, it's whomever fails their loyalty tests by not agreeing with every view they may hold at any given time.

Malice implies intent, and a lot of people don't see what they're doing as intentionally causing another harm. I find the most annoying people usually think that their behavior is excluded because they believe that they're /helping/.
