I realize the second link is a plea for more kindness, but part of the problem is that sincere people on the internet don't understand that everyone is not like them.

And the second example is probably someone who can't be helped by a little general advice to be kinder.

Damn.

I was hoping all your delicious links would be fake ones today.
I fully expected that "real person" link to bring me to a picture of Gollumn or something.

One of them is fake.
