I repeat. The comparison to the people referred to as religious barmpots looks like a sneer. Just because one has a funny story to tell about their experience with sandwich bags doesn't mean the teller of the story knows what's in the minds of the other people who post in this thread, in particular, the one who made the comparison to the religious barmpots.

Now, having said that, I will also note that the person who made that comparison has also said they are sorry, and that they didn't know that anyone in the thread didn't know the recorded message was a hoax.

Here's another little heartwarming story:

Once there was a thread in the Mudcat in which people were offering their opinions about things. One of the people in the thread decided that she knew what was best for everyone else and she started telling other people in the thread what to do. Some of them didn't like it and they tried to get her to stop. But she didn't want to stop, so she kept doing it. Then one day, she realized she really didn't know what was best for anyone other than herself, and she realized that while it was normal for her to offer her opinions about the subjects being discussed in the thread, it was not emotionally healthy to think that she knew what was best for everyone else, and it was very intrusive and counterproductive for her to go around telling other people what to do. So she stopped doing that and everyone in the thread lived happily ever after.
