You have a point.
But I do think that abuse is very different to piss taking and nothing to do with the recipient's sense of humour. It's to do with the abusers intention. Whether to poke fun, (even if close to the bone), or to make someone upset.

That, I concede, is true - although again that's just as much down to the recipient's interpretation
But that's part of the online world, and on a public site that will never go away. A lot less of the stuff on here is genuinely meant to upset than people think. At most all a troll is looking for is a rise, so why give them it?

I agree.
Which is something I've learnt not to do. Rory has tried a couple of times to get a rise out of me and I think he's cottoning on now.
