Downzapping isn't the cause of this. People are the cause of this. The overall phenomenon, where people feed their sociopathic needs on sowing discord and societal upheaval is very common to small communities and it is easy to recognize once you've experienced it a couple of times.
Sometimes, it can be calmed down. In this case, I'm quite sure it will not. Every instance of possible drama will be joined or if there is none to join, made. This is the nature of the beast. Therefore I usually just ignore hard because it's all asking for attn. But, in this case I saw a repetition of a predatory pattern, so I thought I'd at least try to put out a reminder to not engage with this shit.
