This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Yeah. Being an asshole is easy.
The first troll didn't know the term troll. It's not a unique idea.
Trolling to get a rise out of upsetting people has been linked to mental illness.
Some trolls are just shit communicators and are too stupid to recognize the wake of their discourse. Gramps doesn't appear to be one of those.

Are you assuming my emotional reaction to any of this?
Sounds like you've got a case of the stupids.
The internet could be so much nicer if we all just treated people the way we wanted to be treated.
except I like being trolled too. not everyone thinks the same
Some people like having their nuts stepped on but I'm not doing that to everyone I meet.
So maybe it's less about treating people they way you want to be treated, and more about treating people they way they want to be treated?
Maybe I could get them to fill out an engagement survey.
I should check with my focus group.
Funny, but don't you think it's worth making the distinction?
I don't know, what is the answer that you would want?
I think it's important to consider other people's perspectives. What about you, would you agree?
I wouldn’t want to force my answer on anyone that hasn’t filled out my engagement survey yet.
Sharing your opinion isn't the same as "forcing your answer." You can't expect other people to treat you the way you want to be treated if you aren't willing to engage in open conversation.
And if this is just a weak attempt at trolling, I'd suggest spending some time on 4chan. They could teach you a thing or two...
I’m just trying to have a friendly conversation with you, there’s absolutely no need to be throwing baseless accusations my way.
It’s behavior like this that is making the internet a hostile place.
OK buddy, whatever you say.
Did I do something to offend you?
Not at all. I hope something good happens to you today.
Thanks.
I was just checking because you came across as very condescending even though I tried to defuse the situation with some light humor.
I guess I was misreading it.
I saw what you were doing and appreciated it.
That was humor? Must have gone over my head, I thought you were being serious.
I knew I should have workshopped that some more, thank you for your feedback.
