I want to ask you what you think the point of life is.
If there were a point, then we would all be slaves working toward that point. Life would be unbearable. In fact, life would then have no point.
​
But, because there is not a point, we get to make of life what we want. And that's why life now does have a point.
​
(I guess I made that sound a bit paradoxical)

What a bunch of bullies! Wow! Leave the guy alone. If his behavior is beyond what is acceptable here, then ban him for pete's sake, but this kind of ganging up on the guy is indefensible.
They are only talking about cheers and jeers. Sure, it is rather silly but it doesn't exactly correspond to what "ganging up" suggests.
