If we're talking about "toxicity" and an "environment" that's non-threatening, it's worth saying that a big part of the grudge involved was because Nako as a mod banned one of the most chronically aggressive and sectarian and bad-faith users on this site.

People are responsible for themselves and Nako should have known way better than to cross what was a well-established line, but it's worth keeping in mind the context that makes this not just a once-off thing.

Also if someone were to mention that they were tracking my movements, and had a personal motive to do me harm instead of a spur-of-the-moment one, I would be a lot more concerned than if someone just said "beat you with (insert rigid object here)". The former fulfills motivation, ability, and prompt; the latter covers just a fleeting motivation.
