It's always weird to read how people used to talk on the internet. 09' wasn't that long ago, but the wording and conversation on this post just feels slightly off. It's all a little more polite and toned down, less dramatic, but also more playful? I don't know exactly how to put it into words, but reading older forum conversations makes me feel nostalgic for something I frankly never really experienced.

some unexpectedly prescient comments in there

I agree with Mme.Mersault, but I'm not sure we'll nuke the right people. :/ There's no such thing as too much force.
