Unpopular Opinion
Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

Dear sir or madam:
Some crackpot has written me an abusive message, and it seems they used your account to send it. I'm replying to you as a courtesy in case you wish to take action against this lunatic.
Cheers.
I can't help but notice I have witnessed the most refined troll destruction of all time!
Congratulations, sir, for I'm honestly impressed with your skills.
For the sake of clarity, I am not sarcastic, and I am not the person you respond to.
Happy to have met you,
Allero
Ha, thanks. I so wish I could take credit for it, but it's adapted from something Gyles Brandreth once said. It was, supposedly, his standard response to abusive letters he would receive while he was an MP.
Imagine that. What else haven't you thought of yourself recently?
In addendum to my previous correspondence, I would advise changing your Lemmy password and perhaps even running an antivirus scan; some lunatic seems to be running amok under your credentials.
I bet you think you're really clever.
He is.
absolutely basic.
