Wow you are weak. I apologise for the trollish statement, but in reality it was a test for the community; test that wanted to prove that some people just don't know how react on the Internet. It was an obvious bait, and you took it. If people feel offended for some reason, that have to react, they have to say something, they have to complain. Just ignore and live with your life. This is why the article exists, because some people care when they shouldn't. Thanks for proving my point.
Hey! Here's an upvote though, because I found your comment very funny.
Primus: "(something really stupid you'd have to be an asshole to say)"
Secundus: "That was really stupid, and you're an asshole for saying it."
Primus: "LOL I TROLL U LE TROLLFACE.JPG LE MFW LELELELE"
Nowhere easier to win an argument than in your own mind, I suppose. Seriously, though, what are you doing on Hacker News? /b/ is thataway, just past the dumpsters; when you get to the open sewer, you're there, so jump right on in.
The 'LOLITROLLU' response? At least put some effort into your trolling.
Elsewhere in this thread we have people talking about the problem of putting a lot of emotionally immature people with limited ability to emphasise together in schools, and how inevitable bullying and so on are in that environment. Your posts are providing a nice example of a further point: some people never achieve emotional maturity or the ability to empathise with others. Which is one of the reasons bullying isn't a problem limited to the classroom.
I shouldn't need to point this out to an adult but it seems like it needs to be said: ignoring the emotions of others is not a sign of emotional maturity.
