Andrew: no, im kidding, go on
me: anyway, he came home to throw me out and I made fun of him and recorded it

me: sent them to McCain, both posted them
me: anywho, he moved out so I took them down
Andrew: too bad
Andrew: you should send them to me when i get home
Andrew: but what was the nerd arage about?
me: I think it was because
me: the guy says "for all I know you could be casing the joint"

Andrew: you got nerd raged for using spurious logic?
Andrew: on a youtube video?
Andrew: standards have elevated dramatically it seems

Andrew: DUDE YOU HAVE A GF?
me: oh, and some guy wrote a comment that he was very proud of and then linked to it from another reddit post on his other account, calling himself a "master troll"
me: then someone called him on it and he started deleting everything
Andrew: well
Andrew: I can see how making fun od web designers and using the word "faggot" would not get you far on reddit
me: it did at first
me: look at the downvoted comments at the bottom
Andrew: ic
Andrew: internet hate machine indeed
me: then someone linked to it with a rather spurious description of the backstory
