My mind is blown at how completely off the rails that other guy is going about your comments. Holy shit.
Like yeah, I misunderstood your joke here the way they did. But I get what you were going for.
Lemmy has a pretty big share of people like that guy that wig out at the drop of a hat, it's super frustrating to see. Best thing to do is to block when they're being insufferable, and report when they're being abusive -- which that guy absolutely was. I'm going to be blocking them for sure as there's no way I want to see anything they have to say after that lunacy -- and probably report too depending on this community's rules.
Wtf why would you block them? This is prime quality content. Remember, almost every good copypasta started its life as some unhinged rambling.
You're right, things like this bring me back to arguing on the gamespot off topic forums back in like 2009 and it's great. You could always count on that one guy with the Robert Smith avatar to show up and say the craziest shit that later ended up in other people's signatures.
