It seems that the worse a person or group is, the more fragile their ego.
I've experienced it many times.
Someone is rude and insulting, but the second you stand up to them on behalf of those they are being rude to, the bully falls apart and blocks you. They can't handle having their narrative destroyed.
I've seen it in real life, but even more online.
I don't participate on Reddit, but for some reason, I ended up on a highlight mailing list. I'll sometimes look at it to see what's going on if a headline catches my eye. I rarely comment, but when I do it is nearly always because the participants are being rude (most frequently Left-Statist) idiots. I'm not rude in return but I don't coddle them. I get "permanently banned" from the group nearly every time I wade in. They simply can't handle someone calling them out for their nasty idiocy.
I've seen the same, but to a lesser degree, on Twitter.
Nasty people can't handle being told they are being nasty. Their reaction exposes them. And I'm OK with that.
