> Edit: parent's dead reply is an incredibly clear illustration of how such an isolated, unenriched childhood can impact social development. My kid's out playing in our neighborhood, thanks.

They went completely off the rails. Strange, it didn't look quite like the average cheap troll account either.

But I don't think the behavior should be taken as "an incredibly clear illustration" of anything. Just like their initial claim, it is an unverified anecdote at best, not data.

But the outburst might have been childhood trauma causing a bad reaction to the topic and discussion. I hope they're okay...

Agree to disagree, I was pretty careful to not describe that as an inevitable consequence or "data."

Somebody who flees a conversation imploring everybody to "kill yourself" after mild disagreement has all the appearance of a grievously immature person, raised on gamer culture, lashing out in greatly disproportionate response to a narcissistic injury. The person I've got sympathy for in this situation is the poster's "loving wife." I was once married to a narcissist, too.

It just wasn't the "incredibly clear illustration" that you claimed. We know almost nothing about the person, and narcissism and probably other kinds of behavioral issues they may have displayed are probably not caused by playing video games or having an isolated, unenriched childhood.
