Reply to comment by colb_E in Not finding any news on this at all. Anyone hear anything about this? by MTRIFE

Lol. A condescending comment like this to a random redittor you don't know from a hole in the wall (when, you know, simply scrolling by such an apparently waste of time post like this was totally an option), yet I'm the one struggling lol. Happy Holidays my friend.

Yeah I guess I can't help myself sometimes. Mostly cuz in an age of misinformation it terrifies me that someone can read a comment like "Casino in Worcester????!!!" coming from a person on Facebook whom they don't know from a hole in the wall and actually think there might be a shred of validity to it.

Well don't be terrified. When the question comes from someone active in that group with apparent ties to the sheriff's department, which in turn, makes it reasonable to wonder what other contacts they may have (city council, etc.), and isn't just some random 18 year old being a goof, it isn't unreasonable to wonder if there could be some rumblings not yet publicly known.

This being the case, a person could either, ask, answer, speculate, or ignore. All four options cost $0.00.

But now above all, my concern is what happened that led you to this point of expending your own energy to speak so hostile, condescending, and judgmentally to strangers? Do you want to talk about it?

Eh, I really didn't expend that much energy.Being more active than others in a Facebook group doesn't make you a verified source of information. Sorry for being rude about it, but my hope is that you'll take this experience and apply more common sense when using the Internet in the future.

Also, how can you say I'm hostile when I wished you all the best?
