Right. Isn't that when Gawker Crosstalk commenters went all kinds of "ghetto," taking all sorts of embarrassing "ghetto" monikers and posting all kinds of "ghetto" videos and pics to show that they were "down with" the hood...but, in reality, ended up looking rather foolish...and changing their names back...realizing that they were not down with the hood...or whatever the heck they were trying to prove about Dick Denton *on Nick Denton's website*.
OK, I have to say that right there, then...people had to laugh.

Wouldn't all of the American Dreamer theories get more intense? They love the drama!

As usual, this is what I have come to expect in most cases.
But seriously...isn't there something insidious about when one tacitly supports a "bully" and, by doing so, refuses to acknowledge one's complicity? Is this due to allegiance (due to a common cause) or true support?
Just wondering.

I am in awe of Oz-like and you know it.
*I mean, really*
Yeah, I get OMG! pissed some off...it was the" nyah! nyah! Now we're going to humiliate..." that was alienating. As an observer, there was this whole "dog pile on the rabbit" thing that was quickly out of control, and anyone who was insidery knew that it was discussed in depth on an insidery level.
My point is that perhaps it was too quickly discussed and (judge and jury) decided, which led to conclusions that did not necessarily fully explain the matter. As many here will attest, late-night conversations do often go wrong.
I cannot speak to "breaking the rules" of posting at that time, but there is still something in me that felt that" the rules" were somewhat fluid at the time and the fall-out was inversely proportionate to the offense.
Bots, I am sincere.

Well, when it comes to this sort of thing, ("you're crazy"), it comes time to send sincere apologies for having cut too deep.
You see, there's this thing about calling one's behavior into question (and how it affects others)...and another when it seems to illicit an overly emotional reaction that causes concern.
Whoa, Dancing Queen. As others have said, it's the Internet. I sincerely want you to be ok and am sorry if my comments have caused you distress. While I have had some disagreement with some things you have said, there is no anger here.

Come on and do respond to my critique rather than post pics of scary animals.
Why do you do this? Do give a listicle with/without commentary rather than these threats.

I do apologize for any sentence structure issues.
