Here's the thing. A response like this on reddit wouldn't have surprised me. But imagine what would happen if folks on the internet re-engaged the public filter of "ya know, I don't really need to respond to this." How much more pleasant life might be if everyone considered that from time to time.

What's your issue with the response? They're expressing their surprise and appreciation of something shared.
Not really. It's an indication of my awareness that I could have also just chosen to not say anything and moved on with my days plans of hosting a Rocky Horror movie night with a bunch of friends in my driveway. But I made a decision, just like you, again, made a decision to respond in a non-constructive way.
