HN is one of those places, actually.

There are quite a few covert psychopaths on here that happily twist knives and hurt people.

It's just hidden under layers and layers of indirection, jargon and plausible deniability. Not unlike your standard boardroom I guess.

Can you be more specific? This is heavy moderated environment and I would say it's one of the most pleasurable places on public internet to be.
