This is a Reddit-tier quip that keeps being repeated. It doesn't spark curious conversation:

"I consider myself fairly strong and self reliant."

"Okay well we are going to kick you off of every private website, try to make you lose your livelihood, and mock you relentlessly on most media broadcasting networks!"

"Well, I am going to attempt to stop you from doing those things, since I don't like them. "

"Ironic! You need coddling and aren't strong at all, haha, your ego is so fragile."

It's very tiresome.



Well done for setting up a fake conversation which makes you look smart and your opponents stupid. Master class in redditing.

Which of the four lines of dialogue do you feel misrepresents the situation?

Line 1 is the premise of the OP; that's why it's "ironic".

Line 2 is what people feel the situation is, which is why the backlash in TFA is supported by a decent chunk of voters.

Line 3 is just describing the reaction, that they will try to change the situation from line 2.

Line 4 is essentially the post above mine.
