Therefore my take will be of the isolated snapshot. What it seems to depict is the acme of poetic justice, a would-be rapist shot in his genitalia.

At least you're not so much of a smug jackass now as you were in the article. I'd address your other points but you're just flailing so I'll let it rest. You just got to love that authorial tone you put on though. Priceless. It would seem as though I’ve ruffled your feathers.

That is incorrect. I mock him because he is an unmitigated tool who pulled an asinine jerk-ass move of epic stupidity. Sort of like coming on to someone's blog and bitching about how third parties are treating you on a thread somewhere else on the internet. Also sort of like complaining about pseudo-intellectual mockery of someone's writing as an excuse to engage in even more self-important pseudo-intellectual mockery of someone's writing. That, my friend, takes balls of brass and just slightly less self-awareness than Mr. Roscoe.

Of course, as far as getting one's frustrations out of one's system, it would appear that you've built this entire site for a system that will never be exhausted from flaming others (far away from any mirrors.) I think a bit of introspection, if not a proofread, before your next 'rant' against others might prove useful. It's just a suggestion, however, and I realize that the entertainment on this site would evaporate the moment you applied proper writing skills when attacking others for a lack of proper writing skills. META-TROLL. I love how my comments are a rant (which yes, they are), and your post is an 'informal blog post' (comment used in reply on reddit). At what point shall we call a spade a spade? Remember, the difference between you and me (on this subject) is that I didn't go and plaster this on my very own site for others to point to for humor. I'm sorry, that's not the only difference. Another difference is that my diatribe was accurate and grammatically correct. Yours was a heaping pile of garbage, and I'm not the only one who sees it as such. Lastly, my writing was a response. Yours was a prepared 'piece'. That being said, I'm sure you're a nice guy. Please don't take this personally. :) As I said in the reddit itself, BRING OUT THE META-TROLL.

I'm glad you got that out of your system. Allowing that level of snark to build up might have caused a major organ to pop. I must admit to being impressed at how you can go on a recursive nitpicking jihad against a post you seem to think is a nitpicking jihad without so much of a whiff of irony. You have achieved an Andy Kaufman-esque level of trolldom. I applaud your meta. Dear Danstermeister, I’ve read your rant on Reddit.
