This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Or even better if you're going to post a wrong reply, post it in a patronising, know-it-all tone so not only does it convince people you're right, it crushes the soul of your opponent.

I recently posted accusing a certain company of using dirty tricks to con people and control public perception. To my surprise someone from that company was in the thread and he replied saying, "You always say that" and then lambasted me for being a crazy person with a vendetta.

But actually I'd never posted about it before. His reply was a dirty trick to control public perception.

He got upvoted to heaven and I was mauled.
