This is something that's done in offices too; negative opinions of coworkers can cause bad things to happen. There's a floor on opinions that excludes negative comments.

Absolutely, but in any office bigger than 4 or 5 people, there's also a lot of back-channel talk that goes on as well.

People in physical social groups operate in a much more nuanced way than people online.
