Today I learned of the acronym : "FO, DO" which is used to mean "if you Feel Offended? then you Deserve Offense".

Now I want to kill someone.

Just, like, in general? Anytime you're offended, you deserve offense? That's a . . . unique world view. I mean, I can imagine a situation in which it's an appropriate response (e.g., if you're offended by two girls holding hands on the subway, then yeah, I think you deserve offense), but as a general rule? Mind boggling.

On the internet getting offended easily usually tempts people to write more offensive stuff though, not because they really think it, but because it gets all the offended people riled up and the ensuing drama is often pretty funny (at least from the troll's POV).

I know I kinda accidentally/purposefully did this to you a few days ago (is feeling troll's remorse, though the post in question was more of a frustrated FUCK THE STUPID WORLD LET IT GO TO HELL I DON'T CARE ANYMORE post) and the thing that really bemused and amused me was that you were taking a post that I wasn't initially being serious about so seriously.

Probably the most difficult thing about the internet is knowing if people mean what actually say. There are quite a few nutters that do, and on the flip side, just as many who don't.

FO, DO is probably one of those things. Personally for me tl;dr is pretty offensive too. It's just been around longer on the internet.

Wow, be a self-righteous asshole in just four letters! I'm impressed, almost.
