More of an analogy. If you kidnap US citizens then (officially) the US won't negotiate with terrorists to set the hostages free. People shouldn't try negotiating with reddit admins.
- jacquesm 3y agoBecause they took someone hostage? Seriously, even as an analogy that is ridiculous.
- omniglottal 3y agoBecause they took everyone's IP hostage - please, do try to follow the conversation.
- the-printer 3y agoI think that the jest here is warranted. To evoke such an analogy under these relatively futile circumstances is odd.
- ayemel 3y agoIt’s not odd at all, it’s a common saying in situations like this or even less “serious” situations.
- sowbug 3y agoIt's hyperbole. I'm dying to know whether you already understood that.
