    Fucking hilarious!

    So let me get this straight so I understand the new rules of Internet interaction.

    I say a thing. Someone gets to tell me I’m mad. And the only way to say that I’m not mad is to not respond. But if I do respond, new people who have nothing to do with the discussion (trolls)… get to tell me that I’m mad. But I can’t ever indicate that I’m not. So in essence, others know more about me than I do. Nice built-in automatic win button you got there… Bro!

    Holy shit this has got to be the dumbest thing I think I’ve heard in a long time! Seriously…. Did I stumble into r/teenagers?

    So now- since you’re responding to me, by your rules, I get to claim that you’re upset now. U mad bro? Why u mad? Awww bro… cheer up bro! If you stop responding. You’ll not be mad. Just don’t respond to be happy!

    Bro.

    Oh and it’s “The lady doth protest too much, methinks.”

    Pseudo intellectual indeed.

      No rules, mate. That’d be silly.

      But yes, generally people only so staunchly defend a position such as “I’m not mad” when they have some reason to portray themselves as not mad. Maybe ego, thinking they’re above it, or they actually are mad and feel silly getting mad over some Internet BS.

      If you’re not mad, why not walk away? What do you gain by staying here? Day 1 of the Internet, don’t feed the troll.

      For what it’s worth, my motivation here: this is HILARIOUS bro.

      Also, it was paraphrasing. If it was supposed to be a direct word for word quote, I’d have used quotation marks.

        (The “lol” is there to emphasize the calm and humorous disposition of my emotional state that it may please the angry edgelord)

            Yep. I get that now. New rules of the internet. Random kids get to hijack your conversion and tell you how you feel about things just because you respond to trolls.

            Like I’m doing now.

            Go on and tell me how much more angry I am.
