I post a lot of videos on YouTube--only most of my uploads aren't videos at all. They're basically just audio files. You hear me, but you don't see me. And once, someone left me an insult-filled comment that included the remark, "You sound fat."
I sound fat. That's a new one. Here's what I think happened. The commenter was really hoping I was fat. Why? Because that would give him a lot of ammunition. He wanted to insult me--and calling me fat was high on his wishlist. "Yes--I definitely want to call this guy fat." But he could only hear me. So be saw what he wanted to see. He couldn't actually see me, so he just said, "Yeah--this guy's fat. He sounds fat. What a fat ass."
Maybe I should respond and tell him that he types fat. "You typed that comment like a fat ass. I can tell your fingers are fat. How can your spacebar stand getting pressed by your fat thumbs? Make that thumb. You only press the spacebar wtih your right thumb. Your other hand is always holding a Bic Mac. You probably wear out ten keyboards a month with your fat right thumb. I'll bet sometimes, you have to choose between buying a new keyboard and buying a new hamburger. You fat ass."
I think I might do that.
