Is it possible to develop PTSD from just a heated online argument?

Someone said they got PTSD from a heated online argument and frankly I don't think I believe them... I know you can theoretically develop it for some "weird" things but... an argument?

    PTSD is only caused when there is a significant threat to a life/general welfare.

    From an online argument you can get Possibly Too Silly Disorder.

    Hell, no.

    You would just click off and block the guy who is arguing with you.  Problem solved.
