Laneia's Team Pick: This Thing About Internet Commenters

Laneia

Posted by

My favorite is The Person Who Wants To Be Heard Despite Admitting To Not Having Finished The Article. That person is really special. The Different Types of Comments People Leave via Thought Catalog.

    I did not read the whole thing, but I think the article wasted my time. Let’s talk about puppies instead.

      Good idea, but I disagree. I don’t think this article wasted your time, I just think that your time could have been put to better use. This doesn’t mean that the article was too long, it just means that you should have used your time to do something else.

        Yeah well your face is sad, ugly and bitter. That’s right, I just said your face is bitter. So is your mom.

    There are several times that I immediately think of AS when I read some of the articles on Thought Catalog.

    This was one of those times.

      Yes, but it doesn’t mention the major impetus for AS commenters… those people just want to flaunt their (terrible) avatar pictures in an effort to get flirty messages from someone who doesn’t really want to bang them (but they can tell their friends that someone does).

        I feel like this is particularly relevant.

        Also, if you blatantly and regularly excessively overuse the ellipsis, I hate you so much.

          p.s. I clicked the link on your name and nearly died laughing. Thank you. And was reminded of homestarrunner and now procrastination has reached a whole new height.

    Everything Laneia posts is magical, you guys. I didn’t even know about internet commenting until I read this. I will name my first born for her, and my second-born for the person of her choosing. ;)

    Can I just say that I’m not sure if the Internet has given Lindsey Lohan the attention that she deserves this week. I mean, srlsy. What if she really did wear a lesbianic knitted cap and WE DIDN’T KNOW?

          Good clip choice. When I read all caps replies, I read it with Brick Tamland from Anchorman in mind.

    I am feeling awesomely sycophantic and yet at the same time full of bitter irony.

    Conclusion: I am amazing and should write about myself, now.

    THIS IS SCARY CAUSE THIS ACTUALLY WORKS:

    01) SAY YOUR NAME 10 TIMES

    02) SAY YOUR MUMS NAME 5 TIMES… See More… See More… See More… See More

    03) SAY WHO YOU LOVE 3 TIMES

    04)
    PASTE IT TO 4 OTHER GROUPS

    05) PRESS F6
    SOMETHING AMAZING WILL HAPPEN!!!!!!!!

    I know this fits in somewhere.

    I admit that I am often the syncophant. I attribute this to the fact that I, at all times, just feel an overwhelming amount of love for and compulsion to compliment Laneia/Riese/Rachel.
