A local man claims to have had the shock of his life a few days ago, when he stumbled into a rational discussion on Facebook.
“The guy
I was arguing with just had all these really clear, well thought out, cogent
points he kept making,” said local handyman and dedicated Facebook troll, Sean
O’Toole. “It was like he knew what he
was talking about or something.”
O’Toole
expressed frustration over how the “other guy” had refused to play by the rules. “I was calling him names, like Libtard and
A**hat,” he said, “and making up all kinds of really impressive imaginary facts.
I was quoting lots of celebrities, supermarket tabloids and Fox News. And he just stayed really calm and focused
and kept disproving everything I said. It
was weird. And it wasn’t really fair,
you know? It’s like he thought he was
having an actual discussion or something.
I mean, come on, it was Facebook!”
"It's shaken my confidence, really. I know I'll be able to get back on the discussion threads eventually, but for now this whole experience has been terribly traumatic."
