The sheer amount of people replying to the guy, completely oblivious to sarcasm.
It's a shame it's gone because it went on for much longer than what's in the reddit post.
Yeah - I used to check in on it from time to time, and there were always new responses, and new people trying to argue with him, and he'd just run them in circles with hilariously overly literal (mis)interpretations of whatever they said. It went on for years.
I'm pretty sure I remember the admin deleting part of it while it was still active, and eventually deleting it entirely. It's a shame - it should've been saved for posterity.
