[RANT] Gossiping trolls

General
I can't stand it when people make stupid wild accusations that they can't back up. What's even worse is that people actually BELIEVE these wild claims and act on them.
For example: "Hey guys look! Person A uses winky face emotes like Person B who got banned so they must be the same person!"
Then even stupider people think: "Woah really?? I should go harass that person and punish them for thinking they could get away with whatever the fuck they did!"
Then the word spreads like wildfire with stuff like "Watch out for Person A! (Insert dumbass here) said that he's the same person as Person B!" Which ultimately leads to an army of spamming idiots cyber-bullying a completely uninvolved person. And what does that leave Person A to do? File a Flaming Report for every single damn troll that comes his way? Kinda hard to do when they multiply like rabbits on viagra.
I'm just so sick of all the fucking drama-queens on here that think that they're GENIUSES for identifying coincidences that mean absolutely NOTHING, then portraying it like they've proven String Theory. -_-
In short, if you've found someone you believe to be a troll and stalk them long after the issue has been resolved by a mod, JUST FUCKING DROP IT. You're not protecting your friends, you're not making the world a better place, and you're NOT a fucking genius. Just move on with your life and stop ruining the lives of everyone who wears the same hat as a troll you know.

"This person's the same as that guy who got suspended by the way!"
"Really? How do you know?"
"They both watched me."
