You never know.I've seen it before, you lose a fair chunk to negative emotions (in this case more their own fault than that of an antagonizing user) and general loss of interest, community starts to divide into groups, user complains about division, larger and/or more influential group complains it's not an issue at all, complaints continue until one or more group offers hostile knee-jerk reaction to any mention of community division, and from there the groups are more or less unsalvageable into a whole and the community will tear itself apart over how to preserve itself.
