The original post was someone whose opinion they felt was important to make. Agree or disagree with it is not the issue. Odds are if left alone, it would ultimately morph into something else, but the message would always be there.
Post two, although ill timed, was nothing to get upset or offended by. It neither called anyone names, said someone was stupid, or challenged anyone to a duel. Again, agree with it or disagree, it took nothing away from the original post. If left on its own, it would just be quick read, on to the next.
Post three was the very thing post one was talking about. It attacked, challenged, and specifically targeted a person. It’s only conceivable purpose was to enrage and inflame under the guise of righteousness. Had it not been posted, the topic would have remained on it’s course and the message of post one would still be the predominant item.
A cat is walking down the street. A boy walking the other way starts singing to the cat "How much is that doggy in the window?" A person stops their car, pulls out an AK-47 and commences to spray the boy with bullets, blowing away the cat, neighbors, mailman, school crossing guard, and the oak tree. He says he’s the god guy because he stopped the boy from being inhumane to the cat. He asks you support him.
Am I really hearing that some of you think the boy was wrong and deserved what he got?
