That's a really good insight, and true.

I had a similar experience once - relatively new to the internet, grew up in a fairly sheltered environment, and said something really ignorant that was (rightfully) called homophobic. Only instead of just pointing it out I got totally dogpiled. I tried to defend myself and shoved my foot in it even harder, because again, ignorant. And the responses got worse and worse.

I have since learned a lot and would never again say the thing I said, but I don't think that particular experience was particularly useful, and in hindsight, even though I understand that they were frustrated, I don't think their response was really good for anyone except maybe them venting off steam. In hindsight it was pretty obvious that I was a sheltered idiot, not anyone with actual bad intent towards anybody, and it should have been obvious to others as well. (Also, this was on a comm that I later found out has a reputation for being kinda wanky.)

Fortunately the incident ended there.
