Yeah, this is sad all around and I don’t think the intern should have been punished for that. They were just excited and high off life. The internet is usually the place where people shit on your successes, so seeing a random person comment on your language is just annoying and troll-like.

They guy should have at least sent a DM and introduced himself, then given the advice.

People should be able to celebrate their successes in the way they want as long as they’re not hurting anyone

On the other hand I think people are insane to not act with decorum on the internet when you’re using your real name. I wouldn’t do that for a second. As for my anonymous accounts? SUCK MY DICK AND BALLS!

I do feel bad for the intern, but that’s what happens when people think the internet is like goofing around with their friends, not a public space where everything you wrote could potentially be read by everyone forever…

Most people would not behave like this if they were interviewed by their local TV news crew, but somehow, it’s different because it’s the internet.
