This is bad. (Off-Topic)

I don't know. I also didn't agree with that Huffington Post article, but this reply makes the author look like an asshole with bad reading comprehension.

He replies to one question by making fun of the way the question is phrased, but he didn't even use the actual question. I assume he just pasted it from whatever post is circulating around Facebook, but the actual question makes sense, whereas what he posted doesn't.

This is the actual question:

30. If Finn is such a good guy that he would try to save Rey the moment he saw she was in distress, doesn't it further call into question just how in the world the order to kill civilians on Jakku was the first time he'd ever had qualms about doing something the First Order had asked him to do?


He answered the question written as:

30. If Finn is such a good guy that he would try to save Rey the moment he saw she was in distress?


That obviously makes no sense (and doesn't even begin to approach what the real question was). But Matty Granger makes fun of the original author for it. If you're going to take the be-an-asshole, tear-him-down approach, maybe you should make sure you're not misquoting something.


The whole thing turns me off. Why do people feel the need to be dicks on the internet?

Good point. I didn't realize he had paraphrased the questions.
