No rules, mate. That’d be silly.

But yes, generally people only so staunchly defend a position such as “I’m not mad” when they have some reason to portray themselves as not mad. Maybe ego, thinking they’re above it, or they actually are mad and feel silly getting mad over some Internet BS.

If you’re not mad, why not walk away? What do you gain by staying here? Day 1 of the Internet, don’t feed the troll.

For what it’s worth, my motivation here: this is HILARIOUS bro.

Also, it was paraphrasing. If it was supposed to be a direct word for word quote, I’d have used quotation marks.
