The Rules
Posts must be:

- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Please also avoid duplicates.
Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

That's some pretty heavy character assessment that I don't really want to pronounce on them. People's entirety really can't be reduced to one kind-of-cringe comment they made. If that was the case I would be guilty of far worse.
Oh certainly, I don't mean to prescribe all of that to this one person. I'm saying that when someone reacts this way, this is the array of possibilities they bring to the table, and absent any productive contribution outside of an unprocessed and possibly harmful form of catharsis.
