Random FB post from a few minutes ago about the shooting:
"Why are all these mass murderers done by males? Maybe we should stop focusing on hate, religion, race for a moment. There is something deeper going on here."

First comment, and only one so far:
"*white males*

My brain is torn between trying to think it's just people trying to make a joke and people being serious, because I don't want either of those to be the case :V

Why tell someone you're ignoring them unless you're intentionally goading them or trying to start something?
TBH i probably needed someone to tell me just that.
Edit: Sonlirain - You may be the 1st person who gets to my ignore list, for being boring basically. Rude but true.
Sorry to hear i fail to entertain you so hard you are willing to put me on your ignore list.
Guess i have to rethink my posting style then.

Because it's out of line but needed to be said. Not going to explain further.
What's out of line is telling someone that they're boring and that you're ignoring them because of it, but very well.

Personally, I think that you're entertaining.

Yeah, there is. Find it roughly in the same place as the ignore feature. Presumably they were talking about whatever social media venue was being discussed, though.

What a relief, I thought everybody was shunning me :P

I couldn't tell whether Sonlirain was being ironic or not and I don't see how it's a big deal either way honestly, I found it vaguely amusing and moved on.

Anecdotal evidence is best evidence.
I don't know what people's deal about anecdotal evidence is. I once used an anecdote as evidence and it turned out true!
Lol, nice one!

The buddies list apparently "helps control PM traffic" whatever that means. I'm sure someone uses it.

As for the shooting, I have nothing to say that hasn't already been said.

Edit: There was an argument there, but it had no comprehensible point. Something about mass murders not contributing to society or something, I dunno, mistakes were made.

If a guy killing or wounding 102 people is not newsworthy then what is?
Issues perhaps?

... I can't tell if that was deeply, self-abasingly ironic, or just shows a total lack of self-awareness.

I think the problem is mass media focus on the attacker, who gets their life story (more or less) published in its entirety while the victims are all but forgotten.
