And what comes of it? You can never understand it. Just like the time before....and the time before that...and the time before that. This is nothing in terms of Lit scams. Fine....no politics even though I am right. Let's dive into the psychology of why this bothers people. Is it because the fantasy associated with the site is destroyed for a couple weeks? Or is really because one anonymous person lied? None of this makes sense
What comes of it? Discussion. A pretty engaging thread. The potential for future people to look out for future red flags.

Some people are genuinely hurt here. They’re innocent people. And yeah, it’s an anonymous site. But just because the site is anonymous doesn’t mean one can’t get hurt. Or that one should be okay with it. The Dark Web is anonymous. Anonymity is not an excuse to be a sociopath.
I would think that if you talked with someone here for a while and invested emotions/time/feelings into a person that you would probably be more than a bit disappointed if they turned out to be someone completely different. If not, then you are pretty jaded. And I’m a rather cynical myself.
Someone once told me some advice when I was younger that I think might be good for you. Sometimes I take the advice. Sometimes I cannot…
If you can believe it, younger pmann was a bit cocky and maybe a little bit of a know-it-all. ‘Tis true. But during one particular time of being smug, a girl said, “You know, pmann, you might be the smartest person in the room. But you’re not smarter than everybody in the room.”
Now, she didn’t know what the hell she was talking about. Kidding. But the point is, you are arguing that people shouldn’t discuss this and that they should be okay with getting burnt (particularly if they voted for Trump?). Maybe take a step back and realize that people deal with things in different ways.
Why does it bother you that people are discussing it? Perhaps it’s helpful for some people to see others discuss it. Or to find support.
