9. You place too much stock in the consequences of expressing a sentiment on a message board

You place too much stock in the consequences of expressing a sentiment on a message board. Honestly, you appear somewhat melodramatic... hysterical even. Maybe you should calm down a little bit-- no one was actually raped and that's a good thing, right?

Or do you actually believe there are in fact, measurable, testable and observable results of an opinion on the internet? If so, seriously calm down-- shrill behavior causes stress, and that's not very good for a person.
