Seems to me that people who like to talk about PTSD as you do confuse the low likelihood of developing a mental pathology from what would be normally considered a mild stimulus with the impossibility of developing a mental pathology from what would normally be considered a mild stimulus.

Shit I am willing to accept that you could get PTSD from twitter. I'm not. PTSD is a serious thing, not a fucking label meaning you had the rage-shakes because someone disagreed with you.
