"Another time, a mod asked me to report another member for a fairly innocent post, so that member could be punished, simply because the mod was tired of him. Again, what the hell?"
WTF!!?? That's a shipload of madness, right there!
I think insecurity is part of it. Lots of people are insecure and being on the internet with opinions flying all over the place just makes things worse. Thus they need to prove why their dads are better than the rest.
You also have the people who likes to see things fail and feels the need to express those feelings. That often leads to lots of unnecessary "discussion".
