>but did what amounts to a prank.

This is the stupidest comment I have read.

"Don't worry bro, I only shot you as a prank!"

"Don't worry bro, I only slept with your wife as a prank!"

This isa CEO of an incredibly far reaching site who was personally EDITING the posts of users on his site because his ego was hurt.

This is ridiculous!!!



"Don't worry bro, I only shot you as a prank!"

Have you ever heard of "false equivalence"?


"I just committed a mass edit on posts on one of the largest public forums on the internet with 100's of millions of users who want to share their perspective and opinions - where that site I did these edits on is where I am CEO -- and I was upset, within the context of how my ego was hurt -- but it was just a prank"

"IT WAS A PRANK BRO"

You need to take some time to evaluate you're understanding of "false" equivalence.

/u/spez is falsely equating his actions with a "prank"
