It's been a relatively small number of people fanning the flames, posting again and again, and the ones who are doing so enjoy it. They craft their posts precisely to make others feel bad -- that's what's getting them off.

Usually these members of our community have their venom pointed at the other side, but during primary season, they've turned the fangs inward, and our community has suffered as a result.
