Wow. This is basically Fandom Heresy version two.

"If you aren't him, then you apparently got your brain from the same discount retailer, so..." - FighteerThis is not a trope. It's some kind of a reaction.
Cut as much as you want, IMNSHO.
The Internet misuses, abuses, and overuses everything.EDIT: nvm

If we find enough In-Universe examples (gaming webcomics should have those), then those would be all that should be included.
I'm on the internet. My arguments are invalid.Nope, it does not need examples. Although I will hate to see the one about a.f.u go.

...if you don’t love you’re dead, and if you do, they’ll kill you for it.I'll be sad to see this go. Oh, well.
"If you aren't him, then you apparently got your brain from the same discount retailer, so..." - FighteerThe examples are still there, but I'm not seeing any argument to keep them. I'll cut them myself.
Should this page be indexed on No Real Life Examples or Example Sectionectomy?
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanExample Sectionectomy, I believe. Are there even any examples from fiction?
...if you don’t love you’re dead, and if you do, they’ll kill you for it.Don't know that. Meta Four said No Real Life Examples in the commented-out note he put in the source, allowing to add fictional examples.
ETA: This is the comment in question:
NO REAL LIFE EXAMPLES, PLEASE. If you can find examples of this character-type from fiction, then feel free to start an example section to add those.

"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanThen, No Real Life Examples. If we'll allow examples from fiction (if anyone finds one) it's not an example sectionectomy. That's "no examples at all."

...if you don’t love you’re dead, and if you do, they’ll kill you for it.Thanks. I was asking because I had put it on the No Real Life Examples index but someone removed it with the reason that a page without at least fictional examples shouldn't go there.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanIt can have fictional examples, if anyone can find one. So it's not "no examples at all." It's "No examples from Real Life."
...if you don’t love you’re dead, and if you do, they’ll kill you for it.OK, I have put it back on No Real Life Examples Please under the understanding that it will stay exampleless until someone can add a fiction example there. I also linked this thread in the edit reason so that there is no confusion.
Is there anything else to do?
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanJust so no one thinks I've been villainous upon the removal, I hadn't read the hidden message. Hence why I thought that the NRLEP tag was added just to say "no examples whatsoever". =/
I mean, some tropers DID add pages given an Example Sectionectomy to the NRLEP page. Pages, namely, like Fandom Heresy, Award Snub and Mistakenly Banned. And it turns out that they were all by the same person. =/
First of all, the examples are ALL real-life examples from actual forums. There aren't any fictional examples at all. Second, some of them seem rather whiny, which makes this page a borderline Complaining About Forums You Don't Like, which goes against our interests. And last, I'm sure we all know people like this anyway. This article can be summed up as "That one dude who hates new people". It would be just fine without examples — real life ones anyway.
