Maybe because people on the internet are mostly anonymous?

edit = someone pointed out that many people post their actual names, so I added "mostly"

[–] spujb@lemmy.cafe 16 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

… you say under a post with their full legal name on display

The actual post. The picture. The OP. Original picture. That one. Not the one your talking about. The one in the picture.

Funny how the politicians and the media react with horror, but the entire rest of the Internet has an entirely different reaction. I wonder why.

Posted anonymously by someone calling themselves 'Gork'

The thing I responded to.

If it means that much to you I'll edit it to 'mostly anonymous.'

That's not what I nor the person you were talking to ment. We are talking about the person in the picture who put their whole name on the exact thing your talking about. Are you really going to try and pretend you understood that and replied appropriately?

[–] Dagwood222@lemm.ee -1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

How do you know what I meant?

I replied to Gork's post because Gork posted anonymously.

I find this amusing, so I'll keep responding.

[–] SmilingSolaris@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Buddy it doesn't matter what you ment when what you said was not a valid reply to the guy you was talking to. Might as well have said "the sky is purple". It doesn't matter if it is or isnt or why you said it or what you ment. It was not on topic silly.

[–] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

That's just gibberish.

And it's spelt 'meant'

[–] SmilingSolaris@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Simplify then. You didn't reply to the post. 0/100 F. See me after class.

[–] Dagwood222@lemm.ee -2 points 2 weeks ago

What are you babbling about?

I responded to a comment EXACTLY the way I am responding to your comment.

What is the difference?

[and yes, I still find this whole exchange amusing]

[–] Gork@lemm.ee 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yes, I am the Original Gork. All others are pretenders.

[–] Aqarius@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Do you and Mork keep in touch?

[–] Gork@lemm.ee 1 points 2 weeks ago

Only in the sense that we're both from the planet Ork.

or maybe because they are working class instead of a sheltered Ivy League graduate elite
