- CapmCrackaWaka 5y agoThat seems like a pretty ignorant thing to say, that in the sum of all human interactions online, the event OP described has never happened (or is even supposedly that rare). I would like to know why you think that would be true.

- klyrs 5y agoTelling somebody to sit down and shut up is an exercise of free speech.
