If anybody considers their life ruined because of anything that went on either on Wikipedia or an anti-Wikipedia forum, then they're taking all of this stuff way too seriously.
Do you really think that? Should we forward this opinion to those who we personally know have had their lives materially damaged by Bagley and co?
You might think that Wikipedia is just a website, but they sure as hell don't. Wikipedians have as a hobby trying to build an encyclopaedia. The banned users now running WR have as a hobby trying to abuse Wikipedia for their own ends or bring it down altogether. I happen to think that this difference in focus is highly relevant.
