[quote]It's just an internet comment, a small string of 1's and 0's somebody bashed together in half a second on a virtual world that doesn't really exist.[/quote]I really, really, [i]really[/i] hate it when people justify the things they see on their computer screen as "just 1's and 0's" because it implies that those "1's and 0's", even though they are only bits, don't carry some kind of meaning. It's true that by themselves they probably don't, but when those bits are put into a specific context, like an Internet comment, they [i]do[/i] carry meaning, just like this post.
When I get an invoice from my ISP, I can't say "these things you sent me are just 1's and 0's; you didn't send me an invoice, so I don't need to pay anything". Or "your honour, I didn't post libellous remarks, only 1's and 0's".

It's a bit annoying, really bytes me in the ass.

Yeah but when you look at the big picture its just another troll comment. I don't know how they do it in England but in America trolls don't get arrested, they just get hostile comments and downvotes (depending on the website).

There was this one guy trolling this girl's family after she commit suicide. He was arrested I think.
