This thread is basically mocking every other thread about The Onion. A few people don't get it and want to be bottlefed sugar and spice while the rest ROFL.

Because the thread he posted is basically mocking this thread. People should be able to disagree without resorting to mocking. I don't find the onion's autism video offensive, but that doesn't mean I'm going to make fun of the OP. Plus I understand he finds it especially offensive because of the deaths in his family. We aren't all nasty here OP, I hope we don't scare you away for good!


I didn't post the other thread. I found the video in it equally funny... that's it.

Yeah mocking the OP isn't very nice, I liked the other video in that other thread but it could have been titled 'Awesome Onion Videos' or something, from the OP's posts it seems to me hes going through a hard time people please have a care for him

I know it wasn't you, I was explaining why he was surprised.

I find the videos hilarious too, but that doesn't mean we should mock people who don't.

Thanks Vigilans, Moog and wblastyn.

I was surprised that here, of all places, I would be mocked for being different by holding an opinion outside the rest of the community's mainstream, and that expressing that opinion would result in such vitriol. Wrong Planet indeed :)

You were mocked by a troll. Just look at the person's history... :-\
