I'll submit the person in my local Ingress community who flipped out over a girl being told of her profile pic "That's a great pic, you kind of look like Scarlett Johansson." Yeah like it's not a compliment or anything.

For the record Antonio, the sentiment expressed in that post quoted in the OP is pretty reminiscent of the bill being passed in Uganda along with the anti-gay bill that would effectively ban miniskirts, or the people who threw a fit over Beyonce's Super Bowl performance or Miley Cyrus' MTV VMAs performance, aka extreme socons.

Some history is needed in regards to the mines and institutes. It used to be for the longest time that only The Comedy Goldmine existed, however it was full of "haha this is funny because it's so stupid" posts which Alcon (a pretty hands off moderator in general I might add) wasn't too fond of but couldn't really stop because it wasn't really against the ToS and there was so many of them. Hence the Deluge came, and it served as a filter, only legitimately funny posts went to the Comedy Goldmine. For awhile the mods tried to close the Deluge, but then the Goldmine got stuck with such posts again, and it was reopened. Also before the Deluge it was quite common to see a poll made asking a question and then quoting the poster as a way of saying "Do you agree with this insanely stupid comment?" (Yes this happens now but nowhere near as often) since people wanted to highlight stupidity but had no real place. And furthermore it's actually improved civility here, now if you see something that enrages you you can just dump it in the Deluge to vent and then move on, while before it resulted in long flame wars and meant that trolls (like Zarn and those right wing hacks who pop up only around election time) could actually disrupt threads by posting their crap and getting a furious reaction. Now it just goes that the idiot posts something, it gets archived in the Deluge, everyone laughs, and then ignored, and thus trolls like those poll reweighters who all disappeared after election time couldn't disrupt as much as they did historically.
