Recently, a post appeared on the popular website Reddit that garnered its fair share of attention, but not for the reasons its author intended. User [deleted] posted a plea in the Heroes of the Storm subreddit urging his fellow players to "stop giving up," adding "every game is winnable, so keep trying!" Although the post was meant to serve as a beacon of positivity and encouragement, [deleted] was soon made aware of the error of making such a statement on Reddit. Users on the site were outraged that [deleted] had the audacity to create such a post. "You got some real stones my friend, coming on here and being all supportive and shit," spat a fellow Redditor.

It was not long before the denziens of Reddit united under the banner of shitting on [deleted]. The vitriol came so quickly and so furiously that the mods couldn't react fast enough to take the post down in a timely manner. Seventeen minutes and two hundred and fifty nine comments later, the damage to one poor user's soul was irrevocably done. Left with no recourse, OP deleted his username so the horror of that day never has to be relived.
Fortunately, GCD News has acquired a complete transcript of the post from an anonymous source at Reddit who wants to ensure "[deleted]'s attack against the self-righteous sense of superiority of our user base is not forgotten."
Here are some of the top comments:
"Grats on OP's first day on the internet."
"Facebook is that way --->"
"MOM! Stop posting shit. You're embarrassing me."
"That what you tell your brother when he's trying to shove his **** in your ***?"
"Tumblr is that way --->"
"Eat shit you ******* ********** if I see you ingame I am going to **** your ******** with a rusty *****"
